If you go down to the Mid-Continent library administrative offices on 24 hwy in Independence you can donate them to the library and they will give you a receipt to use as a charitable donation on your taxes.

I've come to the realization that I should be clearing out quite a lot of older books off my shelves. While I could just haul the lot off to a thrift store and be done with it, I'm sitting here looking at the books and thinking "how are they going to sell these?" I don't want to just shift the problem onto someone else, and certainly not a charitable organization I already think has way too much work. Of course, stuffing them into a landfill isn't much better.
Books like "Teach Yourself Macintosh in 24 Hours: Covers System 8!", "Adobe Photoshop 2.5 - Classroom in a Book", and "Quick Guide To CorelDraw 5!", will not fly off the shelves, not even off the shelves of thrift stores.
Does anyone know of a paper recycler which will handle the plastic-like paper of computer books? I'm looking at a trunk full of these books and I'd like to be able to take them somewhere where the contents or the paper will do some good.
