What to do with a Herman’s Hermits album
With today’s emphasis on reorganizing and simplifying our homes, we’d like to begin that process, but are wondering how to dispose of certain types of items. We would like to recycle or donate most of the unneeded items instead of discarding them.
Are there organizations or businesses which would take “classic” items such as: CDs, cassette tapes, and vinyl records, hardcover and paperback books?
Doug Tattershall, media relations coordinator for the Lexington Public Library, said Friends of the Library will accept all kinds of donations like cds, tapes, as well as hardcover and paperback books. The Friends operates the Book Cellar in the lower level of the Central Library, and is open year-round. Donors can also drop off materials at all the locations of the Lexington Public library. All of the donations benefit the library.
The Lexington Public Library Web site has more details about donating.
And, by the way, Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits, are appearing in Reno, Nevada, at Hot August Nights, scheduled for Aug. 4-10.

My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way.
