We could not exist without your donations of books!
However, there are certain kinds of books we always need, and others that usually are not particularly useful to us. Our books come from a few different types of sources such as individuals and other local bookstores/churches. If you live in or near West Chester you can deliver your book donation to our bookstores.
Here are a few conditions about donations:
Donations are accepted on Tuesday, Thursday, and the last Saturday of each month.
- All books are donated without compensation or condition. We do not exchange or swap books.
- We cannot accept books with mildew, excessive markings, or other damage.
- We cannot accept magazines, textbooks, Readers Digest, Time/Life books, National Geographic, encyclopedias, or technical/economic/law books.
- Donations are accepted during normal business hours. Please do not leave books outside the store.
- If you have more than 2 boxes or 3 bags of books to donate, or need other arrangements, please call or email us to schedule your drop-off.
- A receipt can be provided for your tax deduction purposes.
Thank you for your support and donation!
Hi! Are you folks at all interested in textbooks? I have several that are unopened and that I want to give away to good use.
Hi Zinnia, Sorry the bookstore does not take textbooks.
Do you ever do pickups? I have seven boxes of books to donate, and I would rather not make four trips. (I live in Willistown Township.)
Thank you.
Hi Carole, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not do pickups but if a friend or neighbor is able to drop them off at the bookstore. We accept book donations Tuesday – Saturday 10:00- 4:00. We only accept two boxes per day. Currently we are having heating repairs at bookstore 2/parkway so feel free to stop by the senior center. Thank you for supporting the West Chester Area Senior Center!
Are you still accepting children’s books? What about Disney vhs tapes?
Hi Julianna, thank you for reaching out. Yes, we accept children’s books. It depends on how many vhs tapes and what the store will accept so they may take them. Currently we are having heating repairs at bookstore 2/parkway so feel free to stop by bookstore 1/church street.
Can’t wait to donate lovingly used books to you. Need to declutter overstuffed bookcases. See you soon.
Hi Barbara, thank you for reaching out. We accept book donations Tuesday – Saturday 10:00- 4:00. Two boxes per family per day. Thank you for supporting the West Chester Area Senior Center!
