I am going through the same thing at the "request" of our new rabbi who feels
that Sefaria is adequate for most text study, so-called coffee table books just
take up space and there is no need for multi-volume items.
For books that still have some value i.e. are not outdated or classics, maybe
there is a book drive that raises money for scholarships, Better World Books
might have a drop off at a nearby public library or there could be a book
dealer who might be interested.
I do feel your pain. I think a lot of us are going through similar challenges
right now because of space needs and/or the perception that books are outdated.

Asking same question re. metro Boston. Also, if one knows that something is
"really dated" - may it be better to remove it from cirulation. Thanks.

I am getting rid of half of my Reform Synagogue Library. The Library room is
needed for a Youth Lounge/Classroom/Meeting Room. I have 1,500 adult Judaica
books to get rid of. Most of the books were published pre ISBN. I live in
Southern California an hour from Los Angeles. Where do I take them to be
donated or where can I sell them cheaply? I am not necessarily looking for
payment, just a way not to have to put them in the dumpster. They are sitting
in a storage shed at the synagogue and the space is needed for other things. I
have already tried the Jewish Federation of Orange County and the one in Long
Beach, the Jewish Community Center of Orange County, and the one in Long Beach.
Heritage Point Jewish Home for the Aged in Orange County. Lastly, the Jewish
Studies Department at the University of California in Irvine. All of these
locations have turned me down.
