Another Green Initiative from the Library

ACC Library Services has signed up with Better World Books to take our discarded library books (usually outdated editions).

• These are sold online and a portion of the sales will go to the National Center for Family Literacy (www.famlit.org), which promotes literacy for children and adults.


• Better World Books recycles any books that do not sell, so nothing goes to the landfill.
