What do you do with the books you/DC no longer read

Just that really. We’ve always given them away to charity but DC want to save up some money to buy more books. I don’t like the idea of wrapping and sending on eBay.
Any ideas?

It depends on the book. All my Enid Blyton and other books I loved as a child/teen I’ve kept (and I reread them)

I've also kept several fiction books that I’ve read and loved as an adult and I can’t part with. Most non fiction I’ve kept too.

Dc old books have been stored away in the loft for my grandkids but sadly their parents don’t read to them or show any interest in books whatsoever, it’s all iPads and games so I’ll probably end up donating those.

I donate loads of books that I read and will never read again. I do have lots on my kindle though.
