Today, we will focus on places in San Francisco that accept book donations.
Many organizations work to promote literacy and provide underserved communities with books and educational materials. For example, Books for a Better World is an all-volunteer organization that offers literacy support in Central America. However, most organizations seek financial support and do not accept direct book donations.
Today, we’ll check the book donation spots on the West Coast, specifically in Los Angeles.
As usual, we suggest you go through our Los Angeles guide with a list of buyback locations first. Many bookstores offer great prices for used books. While most don’t accept textbooks, some even take Korean books, so you can find the right store for your needs.
If your goal isn’t to gain profit, there’s always an option of donation. Today’s list covers the most popular Los Angeles-based bookstores, libraries, organizations that accept such contributions, and some of the online alternatives you can consider.
In today’s post, we’ll discuss book donations again. This time, we’ll move on to the next destination: Chicago.
While you might have already tried some of our recommendations regarding the best places to sell books in Chicago, you may still have a few good reads on your shelves waiting for the new home. If you don’t plan on selling them, you can give them to people and local organizations for free.
Today, we’ll discuss one of the most popular ways of decluttering: giving your old books a new life by donating them to other people and organizations. This post will be helpful if you have a few (or many reads) you want to get rid of in bulk without a hassle.
We already covered New York when we discussed the best places to sell books in the area. Today, we’ll focus on the local organizations and online resources that accept book donations in New York City and surrounding areas.
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States. It’s a vibrant place with all sorts of cultural events and activities, including plenty of large and indie bookstores where book lovers can find true gems and sell their used copies.
Today, we’ll continue our series about cities and their bookstores. In this article, we’ll tell you about the best places in Houston where you can trade novels, textbooks, rare editions, and other items.
Today, let’s discuss the bookstores in Philadelphia where you can sell your used books.
Before we get to the list of stores with buyback offers and the places that buy textbooks, comics, and rare titles, we suggest you take a look at this wonderful Philadelphia Bookstore Map.
It’s a brilliant collaborative project by booksellers, book lovers, and the City of Philadelphia. It’s also the beautiful artwork by Henry Crane that showcases the city’s wealth of bookstores.
Our today’s destination for bookstores that buy used books is San Antonio.
If you read our previous post about Denver, you may remember Clever Real Estate’s report on The Best Book Places in the U.S. (2022 Data) we mentioned. Unlike Denver, which ranked favorably, San Antonio was listed among the ten least reader-friendly cities out of the 50 most populous. In fact, San Antonio ranked 8th in this category. With just 77 libraries per 100,000 residents and 13 indie bookstores, the city only offers about 0.5 indie bookstores per 100,000 residents.
While Providence, RI, is the #1 book city in America, with 139 libraries and 70 indie bookstores, Denver hasn’t gone that far from it: with 110 libraries and 278 bookstores (and taking into consideration the number of residents in both locations), it makes #13 in the list of the best book cities (according to Clever Real Estate’s report on The Best Book Places in the U.S. (2022 Data).
Denver scores higher in this respect, compared to Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Antonio and even New York, giving way to Boston and Seattle.
Today, we’ll discuss another location quite popular among students and graduates—San Diego. We’ll also share a list of the best places where you can sell used books and textbooks to local stores and online.
Just like Seattle, which we recently discussed, San Diego also attracts a large number of students every year. There are plenty of reasons for this, and apart from the obvious—great education opportunities—San Diego boasts fantastic weather, the beautiful Pacific Ocean, stunning beaches, and plenty of other stuff that makes it an ultimate destination for college students.
