The Power of Donated Books


Each year, generous readers donate hundreds of thousands of books to support literacy. Open Books sells these lightly used books in their stores and online to help fund their programs to be able to give them away in their literacy and book grant programs.


Open Books welcomes any sellable book in good condition. This includes fiction, nonfiction, craft books, cookbooks, children’s books, and more! They also accept LPs, CDs, and DVDs in good playable condition. Since they give away so many children’s books, they are always in need of more high quality titles.

How to Donate:

  1. Go through your home libraries to find any books you and your family would like to donate.

  2. Fill out this Google Form to set up a pickup time

  3. A box will be provided, if needed, for books!

Tax Deductible: Open Books and WGIRLS are 501(c)3 nonprofits, so all donations are fully tax deductible. Looking for a receipt for your donation, click here.
