I wonder, if part of the pre-weeding process, if books proposed to be disposed could be run through Amazon's system for sale. If sold within a certain window, then they go on to a new, more useful life. If not, they head to the dumpster. Since they're already shelved and easily located, it should be trivial for library staff to find, package and send any orders.
- stephaniepier 10y agoThis is absolutely done if the library has the time/resources to do so.
- sliverstorm 10y agoYou see that a lot on Amazon actually. I almost exclusively buy books from various Goodwills around the country, via Amazon. The ultimate solution might be delivering a palette to Amazon and letting them manage & ship them for you (as Amazon does with some used sellers), but I can see why Amazon might not want to shoulder that burden.
