Book after Barnard
While sending the books overseas by air or boat is not the best for the environment, Betterworld Books contributes greatly to social programs while also diverting millions of books from landfills: the proceeds from the resold book would then go to Betterworld Books’ Annual Literacy Grants and to non-profit literacy partners such as Room to Read, the National Center for Families Learning, Books for Africa and the UK National Literacy Trust (Impact). By sending its used books to Betterworld Books, Barnard and other universities both reduce the amount of waste they contribute to landfills and support education and literacy worldwide.
