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. Please use boxes for donations and keep boxes reasonably sized in consideration of our volunteers (banker-sized boxes or smaller).  Also, if you have more than 10 boxes to donate, please call ahead before dropping off your donations. 

Children under age 14 are not permitted in the textbook & warehouse area.

The book rescue depends on monetary donations to keep our doors open.  We greatly appreciate any small (or large) donations.
