What a great idea behind this, where, as I stare at the shelves of books I know my kids will trash after I'm gone, how I'd love to donate them to a worthy cause. A thrift store will just trash them, too, so that's not the way to go, but is there any info or plan that can be followed to set up such a thing? Or is there a way to donate to the entity you are writing about?
PS: This is what I've been circulating:
Clearly business as usual isn't getting anywhere, so how come we aren't talking radical alternatives? Mine is a coup to install a presidential team: Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, Anne Applebaum, and Marianne Williamson. Oh, what a heavenly foursome that would be!
As far as I know there aren’t many organizations who have developed a process like this one. There are so many books and way too many are going into the landfill.
Your observations about this cycle of generosity are astute and encouraging. I'm so glad you are a part of the process. I'll take it one step further. When I attend the opening tonight, I will be looking at kid's books, in Spanish. I will purchase books and our church justice committee that supports one of the local elementary schools will receive those books to add to their library. The beat goes on...

Joyce, you continue to be an inspiration. And thank you for this uplifting post on the cycle and circle of generosity.

these cycles usually take place outside the capitalist framework, so the folks in power don't like them.
Allegra … perfect point that I hadn’t thought about.
