DONATION DATES

Due to COVID-19, we've made the difficult decision to postpone any book donations until further notice.

 

What to do with items we don't accept:

• Encyclopedia: Please email Alan Foljambe regarding any old volumes.
• Textbooks and damaged books: Tear off cover and put pages with their binding into your paper recycling, covers into the garbage.
• Magazines, National Geographic: Recycle, bring to your doctor's or dentist's office if they keep magazines in the waiting room.
• Harlequin or similar "dollar" romances: Donate to the Salvation Army, Bibles for Missions, Value Village or other charity shops.
• Musty, mouldy books: Dispose of in garbage as these are a serious health hazard.

 

How to Pack & Store Books:

• Limit the size of boxes to what you can comfortably lift;
• Place books flat in clean cardboard boxes;
• Fill in open spaces with compressed paper (this enables safer stacking of boxes);
• Close or cover boxes to protect from dust;
• OFF of concrete floors (carpet is no protection against damp);
• Store inside a warm, dry room.

 

Please note we no longer accept cheques at this event. For more information or to be reminded about donation days, sales, etc., please email us or call 613-546-9729.
