If you have a library that you want to keep out of the landfill, your job is not storing them, but convincing another human being (who's younger than you) that the books are of value. If no one you know has ever borrowed or expressed interest in them, then the shelf you relegate them to is as good as the landfill.

I keep the ones I want and sell the rest to used bookstores or give them to the thrift stores.

I tried selling some on Amazon. That doesn't work at all.
