I went over again to take the second half of the Disney Collection and the man said "Great, we sold all those yesterday." It turns out, they sold each of the books for $.50. They explained they use the fund to buy new books. Rather dismayed, I took the remaining 20 or so Disney books back home. Does anyone know where we can donate books as a collection?
Try the Mark Twain Library in the basement of the Paradise Rec Center. Here is a Villages Daily Sun article about this resource. Mark Twain Library runs on volunteers, donations - The Villages Daily Sun: Villages
