BOOK DONATION LOCATIONS

We accept new and pre-loved books of all kinds! Simply bring the books you want to donate to one of the posted drop-off locations, and we'll handle the rest. 100% of what you donate will go to one of our community partners; shelters and other homeless-serving organizations who will match your generous donations with unhoused people who need them. 

We are also looking for book-related items like bookmarks, journals, and stationary. 

Note: While we accept books of all genres, please use your discretion and refrain from donating anything hateful, insulting, or explicitly pornographic.
