A team of volunteers sorts and classifies these books that we then sell at our annual book sale and through branch locations of the Knox County public library. We also donate to various organizations that make these used books available to the public at no charge. The gross receipts from sales of donated books are reported on Line 1(f) of Part VIII on this Form. We do not assign a monetary value to used books that we contribute to other organizations.
