Donating Books
Many Schools in the first world find themselves replacing textbooks as newer, more up to date versions are written. This often presents them with a problem of what to do with the old ones.
Unfortunately these are often thrown out, or at best recycled.
However, all over the globe there are schools crying out for these texts, but schools often do not know how to get them to them.
There are a number of organisations that will help schools place these texts into the hands of students who will use them. Books for Africa, the international book project, Books for barrios
