What Can I Do With Old Encyclopedias?

Take them to your local library. Even if that branch doesn't need them they will pass them along to another branch or a charity.

As a former teacher, I say call your local elementary school and ask if they would be interested in using them. They could be used in the library or the classroom or even in the art room for projects.

Check E-Bay, they might be collectibles. I remember having that set as a child.

Do you have a ronald mcdonald house by you or a children's hospital, maybe a shriner's hospital All 3 would be glad to have them. These places have to have the children there for extended periods of time, most of the children have to do schooling at the hospital.

If you want to give them to a good casue you could try a local boys/girls club. Or a church even, especially one with an after school program.

I have a 30 year old set of Encyclopedia Britannica in almost pristine condition. I must downsize and dispose of them. I have called thrift shops, rescue mission, library and no one wants them.
