Partner with Better World Books. The library sends discarded materials to Better World Books who sells them through their used book store at their website. Better World Books provides shipping materials to the library. Some of the profits are donated to a literacy-related charity chosen by the library called Room to Read. This organization supports construction of schools, libraries and language labs, publishes local language children's books and funds long-term scholarships for young girls in South Asia and Africa. Some books donated to BWB are sent to libraries in Africa.
