Giving books to charity

My daughter is in her second year of university, and I have finally got her to clear out some of her old books. So yesterday I filled a cardboard box with some of them and took them down to the Oxfam shop. But, there were books I couldn't bear to give away! Who can part with a copy of 'One Snowy Night' that they remember reading to all three of their children? Not me.

Still I managed to get a boxful together and there are about as many again to go. Then I can start on the bags of old clothes filling odd corners and on the top of wardrobes. It would be easier to get motivated if it was possible to park anywhere near any of our local charity shops. I think I will have to try going out very early in the morning and dump the bags of clothes on the door steps of the shops. I do like to spread my offerings around and not just give them all to one charity.
