We are partnering with Book Smiles to collect books. Here is how you can help:
How to Donate Books to BookSmiles?
Thank you for thinking of BookSmiles! Your donated books help us put new-to-them books into the hands of children who need them most.
What can I donate?
We gladly accept:
- New and gently used children’s books
- Young adult books
- Adult books and home or estate libraries
- We accept ALL books: Fiction, non-fiction, class sets, library discards, cookbooks, religious, art, dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps and newspapers.
What happens to adult or older books?
BookSmiles partners with trusted book resellers who:
- exchange full gaylords of adult books for children’s books, or
- resell books and return a portion of the proceeds to support our operating expenses.
This allows your entire donation to support our literacy mission—even when the books are not a direct fit for our programs.
