SCARCE Book Rescue - Textbook Room

Our goal is to "rescue" books from the landfill, and get them to children in need. Our shelves display over 25,000 books. Schools or organizations working with children in need are welcome to choose books free of charge (although donations are always welcome).

 

Many of the books come from schools that replace their books, so most of the textbooks are in "classroom quantities" -- the books are rescued from one school and provided for another school. There are also "library books" donated by schools, libraries, and the general public. If you have gently used books, please consider donating them.


Homeschools and the general community are invited to join our Homeschool Program page. 

 

PLEASE DROP OFF BOOKS, OR OTHER ITEMS, ONLY DURING BUSINESS HOURS. Also, if you have more than 10 boxes to donate, please call ahead before dropping off your donations. 

 

The SCARCE Rescue Projects are funded by donations
