How the Book Rescue Works
Give your books, movies, and albums a second life! Bring your gently used books and media. You choose where your items go — pick from several sustainability-focused charitable organizations, and our volunteers will handle the rest.
High-Demand and Welcome Items
- Kids / Teens: Picture books, early readers, graphic novels, biographies, YA, fantasy, sci-fi
- Adults: Mystery, sci-fi / fantasy, biographies, spiritual, poetry, self-help
- Media: CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, LPs, VHS / Audio Cassettes (in original cases)
All languages welcome.
Items NOT accepted
- Tattered, stained, moldy, or heavily damaged items
- Textbooks older than five years
- Encyclopedia sets or law libraries
- Single-use items (coloring, activity, sticker books)
Keep books out of landfills — and put them in readers’ hands!
