Well, almost never. I had a pile of detective novels in Russian that my ex-wife left when I got divorced back in 2002 that I tried to give away, in vain, and finally tossed into the recycling dumpster for paper.
I keep all books. I may box some up (I use plastic sealed boxes instead of cardboard book boxes) and I may eventually give away some of those boxed books to friends or relatives who are interested in them, but I don't throw them away.
With children's books, I am also now reading them to my children. I have to say that I am not sure what sort of book is so simple that it duplicates a wikipedia article, but I would generally advocate boxing up unused books and keeping them somewhere if possible.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Just donate them to your library and get an ereader. The format is rapidly approaching obsolescence.

If I enjoy books I keep them. If I hate them I give them to charity or to unsuspecting friends.
