[RP TownTalk] Kids Books

[Sarah Wayland]

We drop our books at the Hyattsville Library on Adelphi Road in
Hyattsville. They take the ones they want for their collection, and
sell the rest in book sales to raise money for the library. And,
sadly, the unsold ones go in a dumpster.

I've recently learned that you can deliver books to elementary schools
if you know a classroom teacher that might want to have them in their
classroom. (According to our school librarian (not Riverdale
Elementary), the PGCPS libraries don't take donations because
cataloging them is a lot of work. This seems bizarre to me - so if I
were you I'd call Riverdale Elementary and ask them what their policy
is about this before bringing them to the school.)

Another option is donating them to Value Village. I know some used
booksellers who get many of their books from Value Village.
