this is only in my thought, but i want to achieve in the near future. i like to collect books, many kind of books and read it. i have many books in my house and i think it would be more useful if i donate that books. i have one place to donate this books but still doubt because i know this "pesantren" from internet and when i contact the administrator, they didn't reply to my ask. any indonesian mylotters know where i can donate my books? or how about we make any organization to donate our books?

as far as i know, many indonesia pesantren never use email as their way to communicate.maybe my suggestion, you go directly to the pesantren and offer your good willings

Oh we have a Efren Penaflorida here in my country who need books. He is the one who teach children about education for free. He needs our support and it is a big help and really touching if the help will comes from different country. anyhow, what kind of books do you want to donate? I hope you found a perfect place to donate your books and I hope your books will help someone too. I let you know if I find one.

There are many ways to donate your books. many people who need books. before you donate your books, you better contribute to the people who really need your book. If you contact any of the places to donate books and no replies, you better try to contact other places. I'm sure there are many people who need your book.

I usually do not donate my books and just give it to the junkman, I thought if I gave it to the foundation may be misused by them.The book has no use anymore to be saved because the writing was not legible even dirty.
