You have got be kidding! Drove out to donate books only to learn the hours even when open are restricted. Too bad. Would have liked to help out. Why make it difficult to donate?

This should say everything. In my attached picture, you should be able to see the novel Foundryside. It's a excellent quality, functionally new condition novel that has been out for just a few years. The hardcover jacket says it's supposed to be $27. All of the 8 books (all of which were nearly excellent condition) plus two records were LESS than that one book cost when it first debuted. Lots of variety of old and new books. Great condition. Great prices. 'Nuff said.

White Flint on the red line is the closest. It's about a 20 minute walk, 1 mile.

I have 7-15 textbooks I would like to donate. I tried looking on the website but it's a bit confusing and conflicting, I haven't donated books here before. If I was trying to donate them tomorrow would I be able to do so? Or do I need an appointment?

Sydni Sanville | Oct 1, 2021
John Snyder | Oct 1, 2021

No appointment necessary. Just go to location. Out front they have signs as to where place books under cover on front sidewalk. They work them into the store. Very easy. One of my best friends recently died and we donated several hundred pounds of his books there.
