This is really helpful. I also wanted to mention that for donating books, a lot of LA Public Library branches have "Friends" chapters, and they accept book donations. Between my roommate and I we hauled a couple of hundred books to the patio of the Studio City library (they take donations Saturdays 10-2) and it was really easy and friendly and you get a receipt for taxes. They re-sell the books to raise money for the library. I'm going to take the kids' books I have to one of the places on the list you point us to. Thanks for the tips! Donating stuff has been a big part of my moving process this month.</p>
