Donate money
Books in Hand isn't a fundraising machine, and most of what we do costs nothing but time. But a small donation buys the shelving, boxes, and supplies that keep books moving, and helps us send a little back to the local bookstores we love.

Shelving
Lumber and brackets for the racks that sort and hold thousands of donated books before they're rehomed.
Supplies
Boxes, bags, and the unglamorous basics of moving books from one set of hands to another.
Bookstore support
Gift certificates to local shops like Moe's and Pegasus, putting a little back into the community that makes books matter.
Rather give books than dollars?
That's the heart of what we do. Clearing a shelf helps just as much as a check.
