I tend to hold onto my books for years but there are always a few that I am willing to part with. Whether it was a poor , a poor gift or the book has been damaged, Student Hacks has 10 Creative Ways to Recycle Old Books. Here are a few of my favorites:

For that nice hardcover book that you never plan on ing, turn it into a Secret Hollow Book to hide your precious treasures. that plus makes for a great gift.
If it’s a book with a nice spine, turn it into an Invisible Book Shelf. Your books will

look like they are magically floating on your wall.
For a favored children’s book with torn, weathered pages, turn the cover into a clock.
If your child is through with their baby board books, convert them into Lift-the-Flap Books with custom prints.
Finally, make a shade for a wall sconce. that is a great view for an office or library.
