However, they are now selling the drop offs and culled books at an annual book sale for very cheap - and the money is used to buy new books and DVD's. Unfortunately, they destroy and trash anything that didn't sell or that they deem unsaleable.<BR/><BR/>Also, many places like hospitals, no longer have VCR players. So call before you try to drop off at places like that.<BR/><BR/>Our WIC office still uses a VCR, and they love being brought fun commercial quality movies and kid shows. Our wait is often around an hour, so a nice long video is great, especially if the room is crowded.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439004289995209998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-60987631115490186672009-02-10T21:21:00.000-08:002009-02-10T21:21:00.000-08:00Someone reported a problem with the link to Tropic...Someone reported a problem with the link to Tropical Media.
