I also collected books, but when I moved I took them to Half Price Books. There were over 100 books, nice, hardcover, best-seller type books that I had read once. I got $25 for them! that was waaaay below what I thought I should get. So, me and my new library are going to get to be great friends.

If you want a tax write off, you might look into donating books to the library for their book sale. You could ask if they give statements on what is donated.
