    Does anyone know what to do with sefarim that are between 60 and 90 years old? Where can I donate them to someone who will appreciate them?

    Unfortunately they are probably in poor condition. They changed the way they made paper about 150 years, and the new paper tends to have a short life expectancy (the older paper, found in books from before 1860 lasted centuries). This is why a book published in the 1500s is usually in better condition than a book from the 1880s.
