Are you moving or do you need to make space in your library so you can fill it very quickly? Above all, don’t throw away your books!

Better: some can come to your house to get rid of it. Here is a non-exhaustive list that will allow you to do a good deed. It being understood that even if some of your works are old, they must still be in good condition. Yes, with all their pages it’s the minimum.
Associations
The Nice Doyen Lions Club collects books throughout the year in order to fuel its big annual sale, in the spring on Place Garibaldi. You can drop off ones on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 15 boulevard de Cimiez. And if you have difficulties, they can come and collect them from your home. Note that you can also go there if you want to buy books (at a lower cost). The funds collected are used for the association’s actions. Each time, call 06.65.78.72.93 or 06.63.08.15.18 beforehand.
Emmaüs: Abbé Pierre’s association recovers a lot of things, including books, with the exception of dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers and magazines. You can drop them off at 158 chemin des Arnauds in Saint-André-de-la-Roche, Monday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or in the shop at 152 route de Tiragon in Mouans-Sartoux, Mouans Sartoux on Wednesdays and Fridays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The book box
Another possibility: you can put books that you no longer need in a book box. These devices have spread in recent years.
The concept is simple: a locker, chest or other box installed in a place accessible to all is intended to receive the books. Anyone who wishes can drop off and/or take some.
These receptacles are installed in certain public parks or even in certain private residences.
You can always discuss it with your neighbors if you live in a co-ownership, it’s an opportunity to exchange works.
For the rest, you also have the possibility of slipping your books into collection bins (like containers for recycling clothes). The list of these points is available on the site ourecycler.fr.
