Johns Creek residents can recycle more than pie plates and bottles next week . Running Saturday through Friday, residents can place clearly marked bags of  books in their curbside recycling bins. The books will be given to Better World Books, a pro-literacy company.

Books in good shape will then be sold on-line or donated to various literacy causes. Twenty percent of the proceeds will go to the Friends of Spruill Oaks Library and Friends of Ocee Library.

Bagged books also can be dropped off at Santa Jam at Johns Creek High School, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
