What do you guys do with your old college textbooks and/or cert study materials? I have a bunch I need to get rid of but I'm pretty sure most of the info is outdated now. You think a local library would take this sort of thing? Doesn't feel right just tossing it in the trash.

    I usually give it to friends. If my friends don't have a need for it, they most likely know someone who does have a use for it.

    This might be the hoarder in me but I like to hang on to them. I feel a sense of accomplishment that I have taken the time to learn the material in the books I read. Kind of a little trophy if you will. I'm sure my wife will holler at me at some point about how much space I am taking up with them.

    The books that are classics in their field I hang on to. The rest I donate to my city library. The books they don't accession into their collection they sell in their used bookstore to support the library.
