How do I prove the value of libraries? Learn the answer to that and more on I Love Libraries' Ask the Librarian page.

Q: How can I evaluate the value of my old books?

A. This is a very frequently asked question. The Association of College and Research Libraries offers a brochure titled "Your Old Books" as a PDF (1.61 MB) download. For detailed information on specific books, you should seek external sources for appraisals, though there are online sales records that would be a start.

If you wish to donate the books to a library or Friends group, remember that the donor is responsible for determining the value of the gift.
