If you have old patterns, the Pattern Library at the U. of Rhode Island collects them and will give you a receipt for a tax deduction. The address is:
Joy Emery
Pattern Library
84 Estelle Dr.
West Kingston, RI 02892

the website is uri.edu/library/special.collections/COPA

When shipping books to a library or school, there is a special media rate at the USPS. I consider patterns media--well, mine are anyway.

Pam, I didn't ask. I simply indicated that it was resource material for a library.

This was 3 boxes, not one or two patterns. C
