I didn't do this without knowing their intentions. A good friend is an assistant librarian there and I discussed their needs. That is the reason the I donated the car books there. I live in an area with a lot of old money families with a lot of expensive hobbies. He wanted the auto books to fill a need. I have seen them on the shelves and they are popular I am told. Our main library is in a congested area downtown and they have built several reasonably large satellite sites over the last few years and using donations to fill a lot of the new space.

There are many hunting and gun museums out there you might consider, but I don't know if they accept literature.

I have donated to "The National Sporting Library" in Middleburg, Virginia. It may be walking distance for you. They are polite, grateful, and give a nice tax deduction form. They are the real deal.

Shipping to Wards will exceed the value of the books. If past experience is valid, they will probably charge you fifty bucks to send you the check.
