The donation center is very organized and the staff is very friendly. I made an appointment for the drop off and the whole process was very easy!

Pulled up, rang the bell, dumped the books in a bin, and bounced. Took two minutes but an appointment is needed. Visit their website to see what they accept and to schedule an appointment.
Be advised, I scheduled my January appointment in early December. Times book quickly.

Easy spot to drive up and drop off books for a good use. Can be closed for book fairs so may want to call ahead and confirm open hours.

Great place. Love it when they do their little book sales. Just a fun stop for any book lover.
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

One can make a drop off appointment on their website: https://www.picktime.com/e5fdeae6-9e9d-4033-a38d-fd2fe7547ae6. The drop off location is still at 1630 17th St.
Do they take textbooks?
Such as photoshop/illustrator CS5/CS6
Or drawing guide books/ picture books, etc?

Yes!
I see the donation center business hours run thru Mon to Sat, is the book sale on running with the same timing? I was told the book sale only takes place the 2nd Sat of a month. Thanks.
I am looking to donate about 200 books of the same title in new condition (appropriate for children ages 4-7). The story is about a little girl who learns to make pancakes with her grandmother. Interested?

You can just drop it off. I believe they'll take it and if you need a tax form, you can ask them for one.
Do you take encyclopedia sets -- in good use and hardly ever used? If you can't, do you know where I can take them?

I dont think they accept encyclopedias even for inclusion in their book sale
10/17/2018 I've edited my answer because I originally answered that we did; that was because we find magazines in parcels of books that get dropped off. I've since found out from the Staff that we don't use them and we should tell people that we don't accept magazines, if they ask what we accept and don't accept. Sorry for the confusion.
