Some libraries do not take them. I volunteer at a used book store where we take donated books and sell them with all proceeds going to the library. NO ONE has ever purchased any quilting magazines along with many craft leaflets, booklets, etc. but we keep them just in case. I just tear out what I need and see if any of my friends would like them, otherwise, out they go to recycling. I keep my pulled out treasures in folders: bags, bed quilts, wall hanging, and whatever else and put them in a plastic carryall and keep that under my chair in my bedroom. At least they are all in one place!
