Binnie,
The Rotary organization is an organizer for Books for the World. They pick up the books and eventually they make their way to Texas where they are shipped to countries around the world, many in Africa. So you might suggest that this gentleman contact the local Rotary club and see if they participate.

Subject: OT- Massive book donation offer!
Dear Fiction_Lers:
I have a contact at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation who informed me that they will be giving books for donations.
From the email to Binnie:
The books are brand new, and we wanted to help out the tenant give them for donations. There is no charge, it is all up for donation .
We did a rough estimate and think we have around 113,000 english lit books, 36,000 history books and 5,000 science and math books, around 150,000 books total.
The topics range from the literature of Plato to ancient religious history of Egypt.
I have spoken to the gentleman who sent me the email. The books are not sorted, (excepted as stated into 3 very broad categories) and there is no list of authors/titles. Anyone interested would have to go to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and physically hunt througjh the books. ANyone going woud need a pass to the Yard, which the email sender would gladly provide.
If anyone is interested, please contac me off list and I will provide the gentleman's name and contact information.
Best-
Binnie Syril
