    I've done that, but I prefer to go to used book stores and trade them for books I haven't read.

    All the time... but I'm not sure if they take some for the collection or just sell all of them (very cheaply) at one of the local branches where they have a room for that.

    I have and I do. As a matter of fact, our local library itself is donated. It was founded and funded by an Expat. She was amazing and she had one of the most genuine smiles I have ever seen. She was there every single day until she "retired". I am a bookaholic, so I have plenty to donate.

    Not recently, but I often used to donate books to them.

    My wife belongs to a friends of the local library group so we do donate many books at least once a year.

    We sometimes donate books to our local library, as a way of 'giving back to the community.' I like to buy books and read books to my 2 little girls, and when they grow tired of them I drop them off at the library. We have given many. It's my way of showing my girls that other less fortunate children can benefit from the joys of reading if we "give". And they are learning. My 6 year-old daughter recently remarked, "It's nice to see other kids happy too. Thanks Daddy."

    I do it all the time, but if not donating to the library, it goes to the charity shop. I mean, if i don't want or need it, i'm sure someone else can make use of it. And why waste?!

    When I moved from Derby,Connecticut to Florida I donated almost all my books to the Derby library. I only brought down the stuff that would fit in 2 cars and I just had too many books.
