    I have some old books I would like to donate to any shop that sells second-hand books. Preferable than just throwing them out.

    Can anyone suggest where I might hand them in?

    There's a used book stand at the exit (by the tills) in B&Q Limerick and there is another in Mungret Recycling...

    Other than that - perhaps St Vincent de Paul or Limerick Animal Welfare shops might be interested...

    I give my books to the local charity shops; Irish Cancer society shop, St Vincent de Paul etc. Also buy books from them, great prices and helping the shops in small way.

    Not Limerick but I donated books to my local library, and my kids school took a bunch that were age appropriate

    sorry if the questions appears frivolous but do they pay or charge 5 euro per box.

    The charge is for the courier collection from your door , they pay a set amount per book then I think
