What to do, what to do?

Lately, I've been acquiring a lot of free books. Let me be clear: this is a very good thing. I like books, and I like owning books. So far, so good.

The problem arises when I realize that I'm rapidly running out of shelf space. In fact, I may have already run out of space on my bookshelves. (I've got one full-sized, 5-shelf one, and a half-height, 3-shelf one, plus another I use for reference books.) The question is, what do I do about this situation? Right now, here's what I think my options are:

1. Box up some of the books currently on shelves to make space for the new ones. (I already have several boxes of books, but I consider this a temporary measure.)
2. Buy another bookshelf (I just have no idea where I'd put it.)
3. Get rid of some of the books I know I'm never going to read again; sell them or give them away. (But that means parting with my precious books!)

Anyone have thoughts, one way or the other?

Go with number 3.

If you're not going to read them again, pass them on so that others can, free up space for new books to come in, and give yourself some allergy-relief in the process by collecting less mites and mildew.

Donate them to your local Library. That way you get a) Free space and b) Visitation Rights
