Most good books outlive their first owner. We make sure they find a second one instead of a recycling bin.
Gather good books
Downsizing a collection, clearing an estate, or just out of shelf space? We take readable books off your hands, by drop-off or pickup.
Find the right reader
Every book is sorted by hand and matched to a person, classroom, or organization that actually wants it. The right book to the right reader.
Place it by hand
No warehouse, no middleman markup. Books go directly into the hands of the people who will read them, free of charge.
Recent good news
Where this is heading
Two bigger ideas in the works. Not live yet, but this is the direction.
The Shelf
Browse photos of what's currently on our shelves, see what's available, and reach out to claim the books you want.
The Matchmaker
A central hub where friends of libraries, schools, teachers, and literacy groups can post the books they want to give away and the books they are looking for, and get matched.
Keep books moving
Give your old books a second reader, chip in toward shelving and supplies, or lend an afternoon.
