If anyone rescuing these books can take them across state lines—or to a designated place in Tallahassee, Gainesville, or St. Augustine—I know of a few public libraries that will accept them.

However, the books can't be water damaged or show signs of mold (not to be confused with spotting from paper elements separating in the sunlight).
