Thanks Cindy.  I'm glad you didn't "reply directly" because that site will
be useful to me too.  I have one more, though, that's not on this web site,
although their charitable mission seems to be to serve Illinois communities:

Brandeis Books
1830 Johns Drive
Glenview, IL 60025
847-724-9715
info@brandeisbooks.com
http://www.brandeisbooks.com/html/about.html

Also, what about

Doctors Without Borders
6 East 39th Street,  8th floor
New York, NY 10016
212-679-6800, 212-655-3759
http://www.msf.org/

My understanding is that they, too, accept books & journals when needed.  SW
