April Book Day! Bring books, take books!

📚 Join us for a day of book sharing and donations!
We’ll be open for browsing AND accepting your book donations!
Book Giveaway: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Patrons can pick their own books in a timed-entry format to keep the flow moving, with a maximum of 110 guests admitted every hour from 9 AM to 4 PM. Come early as lines can be long in the morning, but you can always get back in line!
Please note, everyone must exit before 5 PM, and you'll need to count and sign out your books at the exit.
👶 Family Rules: One parent may bring up to three children, and all kids must be supervised closely in our bustling kids’ section.
🚶‍♂️ Special Instructions: Please leave large boxes and wagons outside to keep the space clear for others. Trained service animals are welcome, but no pets allowed.
Book Donations: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM ONLY
Your efforts to adopt books have been fantastic, and we need more! Bring us your books – we give away THOUSANDS at our events!
The drop-off area is located at the west side of the building, at our garage door (please don’t stand in line to donate). 💡
We welcome all genres, especially popular fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and more! Families can donate up to 7 boxes, and if you need a tax receipt, just let us know.
❌ Please note: No encyclopedias or media items this month. We also can’t collect donations from your location, but our volunteers will help unload your books at the drop-off area.
We are excited to also offer small-group trainings for new volunteers. If you're interested, please fill out our Contact form on bookthing.org.
