I just loaded several boxes of books into my car, to move to your car next time I see you.
I'm determined not to miss this great opportunity to clear the kids' shelves, like I did last year!
Thanks, @pdg. The books are awesome! Our daughters are leading parallel lives--looks like they were ready to give up many of the same books at the same time. There's easily a summer's worth of escapism for several middle-school girls here now!
Hi - I have a name and number for a woman at Seton Hall who has a huge number of childrens books. I'll PM her info to you.
Okay! Unless I'm already expecting your books, or you already planned to bring us some, looks like we are set on books! Amazing.
We've got a super-sort going on here now and zillions of awesome books that can be yours, two weeks from today, for the low, low price of 25 cents apiece. There are so many gorgeous books here. Can't wait to share them. . . .
I forget--is there any way to edit the subject of a thread now? I'd love to take the word "collection" out.

That option isn't currently available.
See ya in two weeks

Ach, zucca, I never got around to bringing my books over. Mind you, I can't get my son to clean out his bookshelves, so I only had a few board books which I might just give to a colleague with a new baby. One book I'd be interested in acquiring for her (I can't part with our beloved copy) is "Goodnight, Gorilla". If you happen to have one of those, I'd love it. If you can't hold books, that's fine. I'll plan to come by on Saturday and browse.
No worries, jasper. There's always next year (maybe). Or the SOPL sale. I know I said we'd take books till the last minute, but we must have a dozen boxes of picture books alone! So great, but totally full to the gills.
I feel like maybe I saw a copy of that book, but I'm not sure. Such a good one. If I come across it (too tired to check right now), I'll put it aside and let you know.
Thanks, zucca. It was one of our very favorites. I'll be sure to say hello when I come by.
Hey Zucca! We're looking forward to your annual very young => young adult booksale/fundraiser this Saturday.
Hoping for a beautiful, low-humidity day!

If you are clearing shelves and have any children's books (board books through young adult) to spare, please consider donating them. I am happy to pick up from you, or you can leave them on my porch (38 Plymouth Avenue in Maplewood) any time, any weather. All books remaining from our sale are offered first to the inimitable @kidlit, for her literacy efforts in Orange, and then to local library sales.
