Non-toxic books (Ann Arbor Northwest Side)
Some low-plastic and plastic-free books available for plastic-sensitive folks. Please indicate what genres you would be interested in, and we can provide a more specific list of titles for you to select from! Genres include: Classic and contemporary novels, classic and contemporary plays, classic and contemporary poetry, classic and contemporary short stories, young adult novels, children's chapter books (illustrated and non-illustrated), and a wide variety of non-fiction (children and adult) including environmentalism/nature, health/wellness, DIY, dictionaries, politics, and many biographies/autobiographies. More books available than are photographed! Books are easily contaminated with the increasingly toxic chemicals found in everyday products for things like laundry, general cleaning, air "freshening," lawn care, and body care. These can cause all sorts of health problems, many of which can go undetected for a long time. If your household uses conventional products, getting low-toxin books won't do much good, because the toxins from the products will soon get into the paper. Since books cannot be washed, even "a little" contamination usually means that they are contaminated permanently. Whether or not you are chemically sensitive, if your household uses only non-toxic products and are committed to working to keep the books usable for everyone, please don't be shy about taking as many as you want! In messaging with your interest, please indicate that you are specifically seeking low-toxin books for this purpose.

Vegan-interest children's books (Ann Arbor Northwest Side)
Gifted
Topics including nature, science experiments, and PETA Kids informational booklets. Some are vegan-focused, and some are have clear problems, but can be great for discussion and critical thinking skill building. Also may be able to include books about raising vegetarian/vegan kids and cookbooks, if of interest. Books are from a fragrance-free, "pet"-free, and smoke-free home, and have been kept carefully non-toxic with the intention to find a similarly non-toxic new home for them. (Of course we understand those who are fully vegan will have non-toxic practices anyhow, but thought this was important to specify)
