Excellent point. Even in Conservative synagogues electronic devices are 
frequently forbidden

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right now because of space needs and/or the perception that books are outdated.

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.
