If you are cleaning out your shelves and need a place to send them I have just the place.  I work at a Dialysis center in NC.  We have started a book swap in our lobby.  Most of our patients are either in nursing homes or homebound so I try to get them books to read.  It has been successful but we are in need of restock.  Any genre is okay.

thanks,

PM me for the address.

 

thanks

I will almost always accept an offer asking for 3 books for 2 credits unless all three books are very heavy. It costs less to mail 3 books to one person than to mail two books to two separate people so I get my credits for less cost that way and also make more room on my bookshelf for incoming books. Crafts, Cookbooks, Christian, Childrens, Reference, Homeschool, English, math, spelling, Wedding, Money Saving and Cleaning Tips and lots more on my shelf. I check all books before mailing to be sure they meet PBS guidlines and requestor conditions. I wrap in plastic first to protect from water damage and try to mail out within two days. I will also consider any reasonable offer as I need to downsize my bookshelf. Thank you for looking. Blessings, Peggy

Lots of one of a kind books on my shelf. I post more books every week and I need to be sending more books out to new homes. I am open to deals and the more books you want the better the deal I can give you. I'm always happy to answer questions about a book (size, # of pages, condition, etc.) Please enjoy browsing my bookshelf and send me a PM with the books that interest you. I'm sure we can work out a deal. Thank you for looking. Peggy

I have a hardback copy of The Witchcraft of Salem Village from Landmark Books. It is copyright 1956 and the cover is quite worn, but the binding is good and pages are clean except for a few pencil underlinings. I will include this book free with any order from my shelf. Please send a PM to let me know you want this book. Thank you.

Hi my name is Rachelle I just got involved with a new Non profit looking to assist Caregivers in the North Carolina area.  I'm looking for books to donate to the center. We are trying to start a lending library for caregivers.  I would appreciate title recommendations or possible books/bargains.  My funds are very limited and we are trying to offer as many service as possible for free to the public.   The organization I am involved with is Guiding Lights, it is similar to Leeza's Place-- Leeza Gibbon's foundation.

I have an unpostable copy of the wishlisted cookbook More-With-Less Cookbook by Doris Longacre. I will include it free with any request of 3 books from my shelf. Make your request directly from my bookshelf and then send me a PM letting me know you would like the cookbook included. All pages are here but some are coming loose from the binding.....in other words the binding is breaking but no pages are completely separated yet. I have 490 books for you to choose from so I hope you find some you will enjoy. Thanks for looking.
