Donations

The books and other material sold are all donated from the community. Receiving bins located to the side of the Bookstore are open 24 hours a day.  All donated material is welcome and sorted by the volunteer staff using the following criteria:

• Books must be clean, not moldy or water-damaged. Children’s books are more carefully looked at for cleanliness and condition. There are instances where classic literature is taken in with a more liberal consideration of its condition because of its value .

• Science, medical and technical books should be relevant to that subject – usefulness is usually determined as publication within the last five years. At times older technical books are kept if we know of a customer who collects them.

• Subject matter unfit for children or distasteful to the general public are discarded.

• Current and older magazines are accepted because they sell well. Dictionaries and thesauruses are accepted if they are within the last five years.  

• Oversize art and travel books are also accepted.
