Donate Used Books

When you donate sensibly cared-for used books, you help us raise money to support our mission, and you open up new worlds to avid readers. We sell donated used books through a variety of avenues. Thank you for supporting our mission through your book donations!

Book Drop Off

If you need assistance unloading your books, staff may be available to assist you with prior notice. If you can unload your own books, we will receive donations Tuesday through Friday during open hours, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please check in at the front desk of the Collections building. We will then direct you to move your vehicle to unload.

If you are donating more than 5 boxes of books, please call 717.393.9745 or click link below to arrange drop-off.

Please note we are not currently accepting book donations as we prepare for the Bookworm Frolic. We will accept donations again beginning October 1, 2026.
