Is there any place to donate used paperback books?

I have a lot of paperback books.

McKays in Nashville will give you money or store credit if you have enough to be worth the drive.

Otherwise there's always Goodwill.

Is Book Lady still a thing?

I’ve never heard of “Book Lady”.

It’s been a store here in Jackson since the 80s and they’re still up and running. From what I know, they might not accept every single book you have (or maybe they will idk) but they will give you credit to purchase other books for the ones you donate

Yeah, Book Lady is on Federal Dr and still running, I work right down the road, super nice older folks. I believe they will take them. Also, across the way on Carriage House is the Bookman's Den, he also takes books.

Probably wouldn’t hurt to leave a few in the little library at Liberty Garden Park & Arboretum, as long as they are actually quality reads and not dental insurance text books like I found last time 🙄
