If you are like me, you love books. However, every few years, my library tends to outgrow the bookcase and I find myself with too many books and nowhere to put them all. So, here are some environmentally friendly ways to find new homes for your old books: How to Get Rid of Old Books
If none of these great ideas strike your fancy, come see what some of the artists at Etsy Recyclers Guild have done with their old books and magazines:
1930 Hardy Boys Book Handbag by retrograndma
Paper Duck made from the pages of an old wildlife book by paperleaves
Flower Barrette made from old magazines by An Bláth Páipéir
