We love donations! Donations is one of the main ways we stay in business :) If you have a few books or just a single box, you can bring the donation anytime during business hours.
If you have a lot of books or multiple boxes, we have a small loading area right outside the back of our store. In between the southwest doors and the dumpster area there is a single parking area which you can pull in and then give us a call at 801-917-5545 and we can come open up our back room and help you unload!If you have a huge excess of books and live within the Ogden area, we might be able to do a pickup as well! Call us at 801-917-5545 and talk to us about that option.
