Textbook Donation

[lab-woman]

Hi Everyone,

My school has an abundance of old outdated textbooks. I contacted Lifeline book donations and they will NOT accept out of date textbooks as they have to pay to get rid of them (fair enough).

Has anyone donated textbooks overseas, for example to Africa?

Does anyone know how this works? Does it cost anything to the school?

The books i have range from: Starting Science 1,2,3,4 (1992). Senior Science 1,2 (1996). World of Science 1,2,3,4 (1994). Science Now 1,2,3,4 (1991).
New Core Biology. Science for Life (1993).

I really don't want to throw these books in the bin. Can anyone help???

Thanks.

I have contacts with a charity that sends books to a school in Zambia, but at the moment we have an abundance of books and nowhere to store them until the next container goes out. It's such a shame that it costs so much to send them.
If you have a contact in Rotary I think they used to send books overseas to needy countries but I'm not sure if they still do it.

Rotary came and picked up our books years ago. Only asking that some one put them into the car as the chap could not. We got a group of students to help, and all was well.
