Yeah, that $35 fee is kinda wtf.
The only problem with half-price books is the likelihood of leaving with as many books as you arrive with.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Books to Prisoners Olympia does not charge to accept donations BTW, so the Seattle chapter is being "special".
hospitalsould be mt thoughy.
Check and see if any of the youth shelters take book donations. Oooh, see if Lambert House does! (They're a queer and trans youth shelter/community center.)
meara, I generally give my books to the library. Whatever they don't want for the shelves gets sold to raise more money for the library system. Works out pretty well.
meara, you can also call the YMCA and see if they want them for their Welcome Centers. Or you can get some boy scout or girl scout to make you a Little Free Library as their service project and you can slowly release them into the wild. It'll take longer, but oh so fun.
Or you can call a teacher at your local high school and ask if she would take book donations for a classroom library, or drop them by the front office of a school. Or a tribal school.
If Lambert House takes donations, I think they are a really good new home for books.
As a kid/teenager I would've KILLED to get a huge number of books like this, but I don't think I know any locally who would want them?

What Kat said! We've given our friend who's a hs English teacher in Bmore City a bunch of books & graphic novels for her classroom library and the kids LOVE it!
Well.
That was the hottest hot mess I have ever read in my life.
And I've read Twilight.
