I just read about a company initiating a book drive to build a library for a Lakota reservation. Considering the company's business it is horse oriented, though I believe they would accept other books as well.
I did give a huge collection of books (they came with the house I had bought) to a drive to restock libraries devastated by Hurricane Katrina and I am in the process of cleaning my bookshelves and parting with some books in favor of my local library.
And the company that lords over NaNoWriMo (dot org) holds book drives to keep them out of the landfills and to support literacy programs. I couldn't find the company's name atm it is somewhere on the NaNo page though.
Naturally, there are many worthy causes and books are just so darn hard 9and expensive) to ship.
Do you have a favorite outlet for your books you no longer read?
I am considering to start a book drive for our local library (probably won't since I never get to keep 2 continuous thoughts in my head for longer than a moment) since they are woefully short on young adult books (I kid you not, 2 shelves...and that includes all, non fic, lit, fic....it's sad!)
