The useful questions, answered simply.
Everything you are likely to want to know before dropping off a bag or box of books.
What books can I donate?+
All books are welcome. That includes fiction, non-fiction, children's books, educational books and books that are worn or damaged.
Do damaged books need to go in the bin?+
No. Bring them along with the rest. If a book cannot reasonably be reused, it can be directed towards responsible recycling where possible.
Do I need to sort the books first?+
No. You can bring a mixed collection. Sorting happens after collection.
Can I donate textbooks and school books?+
Yes. Suitable educational books can be separated and directed back towards schools and learning settings where they are useful.
Do I need an appointment?+
No appointment is needed for a normal book bank drop-off. Find a location and bring your books along.
Can my business host a book bank?+
Potentially, yes. We are interested in accessible shops, cafés, workplaces, community venues and other locations with suitable space.
How often are book banks collected?+
Collection frequency will vary by location and demand. Final schedules will be confirmed with host locations.
