We have an "ongoing" used book sale on a cart, everything is a dollar.I tell people I'll take their books if it's okay for me to put on the sale cart anything that we can't use for the collection. I explain that the proceeds go for prizes for kids in our reading programs. Virtually everyone is happy to say yes. After some months, if some things won't sell, I bring them to the warehouse for our public library's annual used book sale. Andrea Rapp Wise Temple, Cincinnati

To: "hasaf...@lists.osu.edu" <hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu> Date: Tuesday, July 31, 2012, 12:41 PM This is sort of a general refrain that comes to my inbox from time to time. The collections in discussion are usually the basics, maybe an old, worn copy of the Jewish Encyclopedia, some Talmuds, a few siddurim or mahzorim, and then some of the "coffee table books." Often there are some important books there, but always works that we already have, and which most institutions already have. Is there a general answer that you give?
