I thought you'd like to see my book display.

If you start here and click through the half dozen pictures, then you should (fingers crossed) be able to read my comments with the pictures.

Do you have something that fills the same niche as charity shops? Do you have car boot sales, yard sales, jumble sales?

What do people do with old things they don't want any more?

There are institution like Catholic Charity - nasty religious people!!!, they refuse most of things. Then Red Cross - they are the same minus religiosity:-( . There are some special events for collecting old things for homeless people or in case of natural/other disasters, there are official events. Then there are second-hand shops but these are mostly garments. Form time to time, you can find some jumble sales but very rarely. at least here where I live. Prague is a very cosmopolitan city, I am sure there are more opportunities.
I myself loaded a car with thigs after my husband passed away and brought then to my friend who has problems.
Books are a problem, the shops won´t take them apart from some exclusive intems...

Has your library ever thought about raising money by having an area to sell second-hand books?
