Book Donations – What You Can Donate

Have you noticed that the quality of the books we can offer for sale has increased tremendously over the past few years. So much so we are forced to limit the condition of the donations we can accept. Why does the quality of books matter? We have limited storage space to hold books for sale. By eliminating the books that do not meet condition standards and therefore are not sellable, we are able to keep better books to sell in the next book sale or our wildly popular Lobby Sales area.

What do we mean? Here are some samples:

Books that are dirty, moldy, mildewed, soiled , water damaged or heavily worn – especially those stored for extended period of time.  You wouldn’t believe what we find (and we don’t mean the fun bookmarks we offer at the book sales!); very interesting insects and other critters,  books that smell like your grandmothers basement, books marked with pen, crayons and even paint and/or books that look like they rode out the last Napa River flood. While books with gift messages are OK and certainly those signed by the author, we cannot accept books with highlighting, underlining or other notetaking marks.  Following these suggestions make our volunteers’ jobs easier, less dusty and more satisfying.

When putting together a donation, keep in mind, would you buy the item you are donating?
