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.
The popularity of audiobooks has steadily increased over the last few years. It’s not hard to see why. Audiobooks make it easier for busy book lovers to enjoy their favorite stories while doing other tasks — for example, while you’re commuting, working out, or doing the laundry at home.
Audiobooks can be a game-changer for college students looking to enhance their learning experience. No matter how packed your schedule is, you can always fit in a good book with the right audiobook subscription. We recommend checking out our list of audiobooks for college students and the best podcasts for college students.
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.
Are you a book lover itching to hang out with your kind of people? 2025 is packed with book conventions and festivals that are so much more than just places to grab a new read. These are your chance to meet the authors behind your favorite stories, dive into the art of storytelling, and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of literature.
Mysteries, fantasy, romance, kids’ books—whatever makes you flip pages until midnight, there’s an event with your name on it. We’ve pulled together 17 must-attend book events happening across the country.
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.
If your shelves are overflowing with children’s books that you or your kids have outgrown, you’re not alone. Books are magical, but they can pile up faster than toys under the couch (maybe that’s part of the magic).
Instead of letting them gather dust, why not pass them on to kids who will treasure them?
Donating children’s books is a simple way to make a difference in a child’s life. You can share stories they might not otherwise have access to and encourage literacy at the same time. The best part? It clears space for you to add new favorites to your collection.
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” That’s what the King of Horror, Stephen King, once said, and honestly, he nailed it.
But here’s the thing: magic can get a little messy when your precious reads start taking over every surface in your home. Let’s admit, we’ve all been there—stacking novels on nightstands, hiding paperbacks under coffee tables, and cramming hardcovers into every spare corner. It’s chaotic, and let’s face it, not the way your beloved books deserve to be treated.
You’re probably all too familiar with this scenario: you’re organizing and cleaning up your room, and part of that involves dealing with the pile of books taking up space on your shelf.
As you go through them, you realize you probably won’t read most of these a second time. So, what are you going to do with them?
Maybe donating them to the library has crossed your mind. If so, you’re on the right track!
Libraries actually love book donations. It makes sense: they help support programs, stock shelves, and even fuel book sales to raise funds so the library can keep operating.
