Books we accept for Book Pick Ups & donation book bins

Please be thoughtful when donating books:

Your generosity with book donations is how we thrive and help us to continue to give FREE books to  our communities. We have many books that come in monthly and the books we choose to give away must be new, like new or VERY gently used.   

FOR ALL BOOK PICK UPS: All books need to be in tote bags or small moving boxes(think banker boxes) when we arrive at your book pick up time.  We also ask that they be on the porch or by the front door.  Our volunteers are not allowed to go beyond the front door within your home.  If you have books in a basement or upstairs, please have them at the front door or on the porch before your pick up time.  

Please find below examples of books we CANNOT TAKE.

Library Discards - Dictionaries - Encyclopedias & Textbooks - Magazines

We cannot accept these because simply put, they will sit on our bookmobile without a home.  We end up storing these books and storage space is quite expensive to hold on to inventory that no one will adopt into their home library. 

Moldy, Torn, Dirty, Written-In, Stickered or Broken books

Simply put, most of us would not choose a moldy, torn, broken or written in book.  We like to make sure that our books are in their best shape for a new owner.  Moldy books like to share their "moldiness" so they cannot be brought into the warehouse. Books that are full of stickers or are dirty take a lot for our team to clean up and get into shape.  Please understand why we cannot accept these books.  Thank you for your understanding!
