Buying a house with thousands of Books inside, any suggestions?

Hello BP,

I am in contract with a house in Red Bank, New Jersey and supposed to close this week. I told the seller to leave behind anything she didn't want and I would take care of all the cleanup. 

She ended up leaving behind all her books (roughly 2,000 if I had to estimate).

I tried calling a bunch of places to donate them but I'm not having much luck. Some charities will only take up to 2 boxes but there are hundreds of boxes. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any charities or companies that will take this many books? 

I'm open to anything rather then throw them out.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Ryan

    First, check every book for any money stuffed in between the pages.
