My dad wants to get rid of all of my moms books (she basically had a mini library in their den) I want to donate them but I live in Florida so donating them to schools is out of the question. Library's are another option but again, I'm in Florida so I'm not sure if that is a great option either. I'm not sure how Florida's book ban effects Library's. šŸ¤”

Any other suggestions? I want them to go to where they are needed most and will benefit others.

Book bans?! Fuck... Weird USA again...

Contact an organisation in a neighbouring state, so long as they'll undertake the task of collecting the books. I'm sure you can make a short list from a web search and then contact them.

Yeah it's a new thing in Florida public schools. Karen's have been taking advantage of it. It's so sad. I'm so glad I'm not in the school system anymore and all my neices/nephews are in college now.

Could you give them to a thrift shop or charity shop?

I'll have to research them. I know someone who runs a free mini library but wouldn't be able to bring all of them to her. She said there is a website where I can find other free libraries in my area so that's an option too.
