Too many books. (Yes, it's true!)

Okay, much as I'm a vocal member of the "no such thing as too many books" camp, I have too many books. Specifically, I've long since run out of space on my bookshelves, and I don't really want to invest in more bookshelves. (Especially since when I move out, I doubt I'll even have room for the bookshelves I currently have.)

More to the point, I have a great many books on my shelves that I'm never going to read again, that I'm never going to give to anyone *else* to read, and that I just generally don't want. Giving these books away would clear up space for the new books I've acquired that I *do* want to keep and love.

So the question on my mind tonight is, "where the heck to I give a bunch of books?" I'm contemplating the McGill or Concordia used book fairs, but I'd have to find contact information and also when they accept donations.

If anyone has any other possibilities, I'd be happy to hear them. I don't care about getting paid, I just care about my books going to a good home. (For the record, it's mostly general nonfiction in a large variety of categories.)
