Donate Your Gently Used Books for the Sale:  
Why not clean out your bookshelves to make room for the books you buy at the Old Book Sale? It’s a recycling program that is fun!
If you are wondering what makes a book “gently used”, it is a book that is in good enough condition for someone else to read. Most of our shoppers avoid books that are water damaged, moldy or falling apart. The only exception is a book that is very old but even those items should have all the pages intact. We request that you avoid donating magazines as they are not sold at the Book Sale.

To donate books for the Old Book Sale, you can bring them Tuesdays and Thursday’s to the Friends workroom on Riverside Drive at Riverstreet Crossing shopping Center, 2720 Riverside Drive, Suite 129 
Macon, Georgia 31209
Telephone: (478) 745-2422 
OR   
Bring them to the desk of the Washington Memorial Library or any of the Bibb County library branches. Be sure to mark your bags or boxes “Friends” or “Book Sale” so we will be sure to get them.
