I have a “thing” about books. I LOVE books and tend to amass a huge collection. Some, however, get read or reviewed once and end up sitting on my shelf. It adds to clutter, leaves little room for new acquisitions, and leaves me a little sad–these books are no longer fullfilling their purpose to bring information and enjoyment.
Recently, I packed up a huge box and took them over to the Half Price Bookstore. Love the Half Price Bookstore, and am pleased with their approach to environemental concerns. I appreciate the opportuntiy to support socially responsible businesses.
I didn’t get much for the books, but I didn’t expect much, either. So that’s fine! However, I did get a very good feeling knowing that these books can be enjoyed by others, and the small stipend allowed me to splurge on some clearence sale items at the nearby Bath & Bodyworks store.
