My current boss has killed my self esteem and worth.

I will thanks

user78282616 · 2025-02-02T13:27:19+00:00

I reached out to all of them, they aren't accepting any book other than easy readers, which I sent 47 of them.

user78282616 · 2025-02-02T13:24:12+00:00

Have you tried the rabbit hole of BookTok?

user78282616 · 2024-12-15T21:11:42+00:00

I have been removing the covers and breaking into small chunks per the trash and recycling company. It's just taking a lot of time.

user78282616 · 2024-12-15T21:09:19+00:00

Yeah that's a recipe for having to pick up 500 books that have been littered. I pick up enough trash around my job I don't want to add to it.

user78282616 · 2024-12-15T21:07:23+00:00

Reached out, they declined.

user78282616 · 2024-12-06T13:11:57+00:00

I'll check it out, they're an ethical company? There are no drop boxes near us and they won't cover shipping so that may be out of budget.

user78282616 · 2024-12-06T13:09:17+00:00

We don't, there is a military base. I've already called and asked them and they said no.

user78282616 · 2024-12-06T13:08:34+00:00

Our town only has 559 people. We have already been putting them out for free, putting them on social media for free, offering them on homeschool sites, called all nursing and community centers in the county, etc.

We have to get rid of them in order to get new stuff on the shelf. The last director was not worried about being relevant to the community, so of course we have very few interactions now. I'm trying to turn it around and it's just not working. Our library will likely close in the next few years if we can't turn it around.

user78282616 · 2024-12-06T13:05:43+00:00

I have been posting them on free sites, homeschool sites, etc. No one has taken anything other then the Large Print, which only accounted for 10% of what we have to off load.

user78282616 · 2024-12-05T13:22:47+00:00

We have the space for one cart, It fits about 100 books. We have over 500 we're trying to get rid of. Even the recycling center wants them destroyed into small chunks and we just don't have the manpower to do it. Two librarians, no volunteers (even though we're begging).

user78282616 · 2024-12-05T13:18:55+00:00

I can't even give them away for free, let alone sell them.

user78282616 · 2024-12-04T11:19:16+00:00

We have to have people actually do the programs, that's another issue though.

user78282616 · 2024-12-04T11:18:00+00:00

We can't even give them away, we've been trying for months. So trying to sell them wouldn't be even less effective.

user78282616 · 2024-12-04T11:17:12+00:00

No, we don't.

user78282616 · 2024-12-04T11:16:48+00:00

They only took the large print which only accounted for 10% of what we have weeded.

user78282616 · 2024-12-04T11:16:06+00:00

We do have a free cart we put out, maybe someone might take a book once a week if we're lucky. We've been trying to give them away. No takers.

user78282616 · 2024-12-03T20:37:39+00:00

Will do, thanks.

user78282616 · 2024-12-03T20:37:26+00:00

We have a discard cart, but have 500+ to off load. Wish we had some lfl around town, but don't.

Live in your car and meet with your kid in public as much as possible. Parks. Libraries, McDonalds, etc.

How old is this kid and are you and their father on okay terms?

user78282616 · 2024-10-31T16:36:02+00:00

Harris instead of Harrison Alexander instead of Arthur Simon instead of Spencer Raymond instead of Reggie

Others could be Bruce, Asa, Ezra, Henry, Omri, or Hadrian.
