Donating sff books

Trojan

I need to clear out some space so I want to give away - in bulk, with very little hassle - about 400-800 books, mostly sff.

I've been told that libraries don't want donations, and the sff is probably a bit more niche than what I've seen in the local charity shops (and would also overwhelm their bookshelves).

Any suggestions?

• Chapter's second hand.
• sites like webuybooks.co.uk? (Not sure if they take stuff from Ireland)
• Bookmooch
• Post a list here and let people vulture it?

Getting rid of that much as a block is tough enough.

I could post a list, but honestly there's plenty of dross in there amongst the gems and I need to clear it in one lot... and I'm in Mayo.

Any Mechwarrior/Battletech?

You could try contacting the head office for one of the larger charity shops. They may take it as a consignment and then parcel it out in chunks to several stores.

Very Generous, if you have any Hardback copies you are getting rid of, please drop me a PM. Nothing wrong with being in Mayo!

you could try your local summer fair. ask the organisers if they want the books.

The Simon Charity Shops in Galway may well be interested: https://www.galwaysimon.ie/shops-home/

Books@One in Lousiburg might be worth a call, see https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/the-shop-that-could-change-ireland-1.3331239
