Donating books clears your clutter and benefits society at the same time.
Donating books to charity is a win-win situation. You benefit by having a less cluttered house, and the charity benefits by receiving an item they need. By donating instead of throwing away, you are helping to keep the environment free of trash. Many nationwide donation centers accept used books, but Minnesota also has some local organizations that accept donations. When you donate a book, be sure the book is in good condition. Charities do not want books that not readable.
