I donate books to the library if I don't like it myself/don't enjoy reading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677320 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:40:31 +0000 808love 2677320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way I can bring myself to purging LOs precious books is by giving them to a friend. I think about which friend would want which one and it helps say goodbye. To me they are all good if I chose them. If I didn't choose them, it is much easier to give away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677298 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:23:00 +0000 travellingbee 2677298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have pretty much kept all of the books we've gotten because we have a younger one so I guess we'll get rid of books once he starts outgrowing them... We do have a ton though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677296 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:18:50 +0000 honeybear 2677296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only type of books I'm donating at this point are ones that we/I never liked or ones that aren't good quality. (Actually, if they're really bad, I trash them.) </p> <p>Good picture books are definitely still worth keeping in early elementary and even the board books with stories in them can be useful for reading practice. I may get more selective about what stays as we go on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677290 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:11:21 +0000 Bao 2677290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to donate "B rated" books, ones that aren't of the best quality/writing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677286 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:07:59 +0000 Boogs 2677286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Classics are always in my keep pile. After that, I look at books we've all loved the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-books-to-keep#post-2677284 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 14:07:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2677284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our book shelves are overflowing.</p> <p>How do you decide which books to keep and which to save? We do have multiple places in the house so I can rotate them some. Right now I have 3 level readers (infant/board books, toddler/simple stories, elementary/early reader) </p>
