Book stripping

The tax write-offs that apply to individuals don't apply to businesses -- primarily because EVERYTHING a business does is tax-deductible. Individuals get a break if they donate a book; a business gets to deduct their costs from their profits no matter what they do with the product.

Divia... I understand that libraries won't necessarily want everything people want to give them, but I think there should be a way for people to learn of libraries that do need their books. I mean here in New Orleans, libraries were destroyed just as much as people's homes were during Katrina. They needed to rebuild their entire collections from the ground up. I think any libraries around the country could've and should've accepted anything people were willing to donate and then pass them on if they had no use for them.[/quote]

Well I know that some libraries take them and then have a library sale, but some dont have the storage for it. I understand what you are saying about the ones in NO though.
