Hey everyone, I have a full set of encyclopedia to donate.

"The New Book of Knowledge by Grolier Incorporated. Published 1988."

I know everyone is using the internet and all that but to throw/sell it to the Karang Guni man, like not worth it. So wondering if anyone have any information/ help on where I can donate these chunky books to?

Thanks!

I got exactly the same set as you! Now....does that makes us to be from the same era?

But mine are encyclopedias, and they weigh a tonne, so I can't just drop them in the book drop.

If you dun mind, keep them for awhile. I can help you ask a friend of mine who works with autistic children. The book might be useful to their school. I can get back to you by next week.

Oops!!! The set is actually family owned. But I've got no more space for it...

I appreciate the fact that you want to donate it rather than throw it away.

I gave mine away a few years back...It was quite old and I finish reading them when I was 11. It has been gathering dust there for the longest time. I understand her sentiments.

The fact is that everyone is using the internet to get information these days.

I was looking for schools or some charity organisations in fact.

it's sad dat most kids dun read nwadays.

Nata|ie SG

By the time my kids read it, got new and updated versions le.

This is published in 1988. Imagine how much more new information was created in this 20 years?

Then just throw into those recycling bins.

Even if you donate, but if its old, people will throw into recycling bins too.

encyclopedias... so ancient. I remember there used to be encyclopedia salesmen back in the 80s and 90s.

Until the DVD-rom encyclopedia made it redudant.

And then wikipedia made the latter redundant.

Not sure if anyone would even bother flipping hard copy encyclopedias.
