JeanS Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We are having to clear the house and have a lot of paper back books which are in good condition.Does anyone know of an English Library which would take them? I tried selling them on Leboncoin.We're on the Indre/Creuse border ( Ste Sevére) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Have you got any colouring in books for Wooly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Our local "Cancer support France" (to help English speakers with this disease) take books. We are in Normandy but if there is a group near you then you could try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We had the same problem a few months ago - we needed more bookshelf space so decided to get rid of some books in english.I tried the 2 nearest libraries, and the English stall in the market, she has a small library at home, but already overflowing - do you have an english stall? No luck, but I didn't try Emmaus. Sadly, they ended up in the recycling bin.(I kept yours, Wooly!)I also cleared out some books in french but the nearest library was pleased to have those.

woolybanana Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For my last load, I boxed them up with a thin layer of French ones on top of a lot of English ones and took them to Emmaus when they were busy. It worked.Thank you Patf, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 You could try asking your local TROC to take them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
