<br><br>>Pretty much any library will accept donations. Most are simply landfilled,<br>>but some are sold at annual book sales or on carts in the library. It costs<br>>too much for the library to process a donated book to make it worth taking
<br>>them into the collection; purchased books come with a lot of the necessary<br>>pre-processing already done.<br><br>Hopefully they do recycle them. To answer the initial question, it is possible to recycle the paper in these books. I believe they can take such material at the city drop off points:
