Used German Books for donation

Question

I have some old books to learn german, some dictionaries and lots of copies of exercises, I’m changing apartments soon and I don’t want to take so many things with me. I know there are some places that take old clothes or stuff and, does anyone know one in Berlin where my books, etc. would be helpful? If it there is I could spread the word around my classmates so they could do the same. I think it can be a win/win situation for everyone. Thanks to everyone that answers. #donation #german #books

Is your room already rented out? I have 2 friends, each of whom is looking (separately from each other) for a room in a WG. One is a refugee (female) and one is a student (male).

Give your books to the refugee library which is inside the "THF Cafe at Hangar 1, Tempelhofer Flughafen building. The library was set up by refugees for refugees.
The name of the library is "Asylothek".

Hi @Mariana =)

For what concerns the German books you could try to post on E-bay kleinanzeigen zu verschenken. Here in Berlin works quite well because everybody tries to multiply the value of the things they buy by sharing them once they don't need them anymore. It could be a good idea to try that out.
Here is the link =)
