MANY OF THE BOOKS ARE IN ENGLISH Reader Question: I have a lot of old books I no longer have use for, some in French but many in English. What can I do with them as opposed to just throwing
them out? There are multiple ways to dispose of your old books, especially those in good condition. Books that are in a poor condition or potentially dangerous to someone’s health can
still be recycled (see below), but should not be passed on. You may be able to sell them via an online site which buys old books, films, video games etc, such as Momox. However, this will
probably be for only a few cents per book. You can enter the ISBN number of a few of your books into online sites to see if you think the prices are worth it, although, if the books date
from before 1970 then they may not be in the ISBN register. Otherwise, you can apply to set up a stall at a vide-grenier ('garage' sale) near your home. This can be useful if you
have other things in your home that you want to move on, but there are rules surrounding these sales, and it is by no means a guaranteed solution. Read more: Do I need to sign up for French
car boot sales? DONATING THE BOOKS If you do not think the books are worth much, you can donate them. Contact local services in your area – libraries, schools, elderly care homes and
social centres – to see if they would like the books. Libraries and secondary schools will be more likely to take English books. A French custom is to leave old books on outside window
sills or building entryways, signalling to others they are free to take. This is common with French pocket books, which are cheap and unlikely to be worth much when resold, only costing €2
or €3 in the first place. Read more: Six things that show the French love for books and reading Your local area may also have a book-nook (boîtes-à-livres), a small shed or installation
where people can leave books for others to take. DISPOSING OF THE BOOKS If there are no other options available, you can have the books recycled and their paper turned into pulp. Your
local tip should have a bin to collect paper and card for recycling. Nonetheless, call before your visit to make sure. Books also go into blue paper bins, however in some areas (depending on
local rules) you need to remove the covers of the book, which would go in the green bin. Contact your local commune to see the rules if you are unsure.
