This can be a problem. In my quilt guild, the members bring magazines that they have read and put them on a sharing table. Anyone that wants to get one or more pick them up and bring them back when they're done. Every month there are things to look at and take home. When I moved from that area, I contributed several items. It's a great way to pass around things that another can use. I have a couple that I've kept.... I want to make a quilt from them. The others have all been recycled again.
