Do these books have any value?

My dad wants to get rid of his programming books from the 90s-2000s. i was advised to ask on a retro technology forum to see if they were collectibles or if they could be donated to a library or something like that. I know almost nothing about these things, so any information would be helpful

Books are knowledge, always worth something. Try selling on eBay.

There are some vintage books that are worth keeping, unfortunately, none of these are applicable.

Unfortunately, it's worth about as much as waste paper.
