Tips on choosing books to donate:

  • Prefer children's books geared towards newborns to five years old,
    but will accept books for children up to 10 years of age.

  • Used books should be gently used (covers and pages intact, clean
    and readable).

  • Hard cover picture books with brightly colored pictures and
    interesting stories are ideal.

  • Spanish books and bilingual books are in great demand.

  • Books about religion and sensitive issues like divorce, abuse or
    death are not accepted.
