I have acquired more books than I can possibly store. Books of all kinds. What do you do with a few thousand books including encyclopedia's, medical, legal etc.? Some are really old. I have no use for them but don't want to just throw them in the dumpster. Any suggestions?
Any book lovers?

E-bay? Or maybe find an old book dealer and trade some of them for books you have not read. I've got a ton of them myself, starting to run out of room. My wife and I lay in bed and read every night before bed, it's very relaxing after a long day at the office.

I would say the same thing. There are a couple of used book stores where I live and they will buy them from you. You don't get much but at least its somthin and you know you are giving someone else the joy you once had in reading them.

You can check with local churches. We have taken many to third world countries such as Kenya Africa. We had a large missions team going and we each added a couple into our luggage. Some of those children have never seen a book so having even an old set of encyclopedias would greatly enhance their knowledge. Just my thoughts.

I have several hundred books. The only ones I keep are Tom Clancy, Louis L'Amour, and good true biographies about time serving our country. The rest go to Good Will. My suggestions of good reads are "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell, "SOG" by John Plaster, and "Reflections of a Warrior" by Franklin D. Miller. All great reads.
