Thanks, ladies. I never thought of a scanner! Am off to research that option.
My small quilt guild does not have a library or librarian, and they do not have any space that could be used as a library. They are asking for someone to start a library, and I would love to volunteer both my stuff and my services, but there's no way I could cart books and magazines back and forth to guild meetings. No SUV here! (Not to mention my bad back, knees, etc.)
I think ultimately I will try to sell the magazine collections (usually a couple of year's worth in their own special 3-ring binders) as collections, and give away the stack of miscellaneous mags.
