   I am considering disposing of 3,000 of my 4,000 SF/F books.  I have no   
   idea what to do with that many books.   
      
   My parents had 6,000+ books between them.  We are having difficulty   
   getting rid of them except the 25 yd^3 dumpster that I have sitting in   
   the driveway.  The local library in Port Lavaca, Texas took 300 hardback   
   books and said no more.
