[LM_NET] ALL: Donating discarded books

["Elizabeth P. Dumas" <dumas@OPSB.NET>]

Does anyone know of a legitimate organization that will accept discarded school 
library books as a donation to be used in libraries in other countries or even here 
in our country?  I have never done this and have been told that some of these 
companies are scamming people for discarded books and then just selling them.  
Anyone have a good experience with a company that does this? I would appreciate 
names of companies and web addresses if available.
