re-using/recycling books
 
I've a bunch of books - some will go to happy homes, and others I know will be harder to rehome. So I'm looking for suggestions (ideally so others will take my books and run with them;)

1. charity shop - Only give them books they'll use

2. Jumble town - Off course

3. Local library - Only for specific books and depends on your library

4. Make a lamp/lamp shade out of a book

5. Make a secret book - a book with a hiding place for money/passport/etc..

6. Make a bird house/book case from old hardbacks

7. Wrapping paper - but I only need so much

8. Using decoupage to re-vamp some furniture you got on jumbletown.

This isn't mine - but I did see a mirror that had this done before and it did look super.

Any other suggestions to have the masses looking for my old books!

They're in the books section and some in the school section. At least what I've got posted so far. I've given up for this evening.
