Donate Your Books

donate books

We are very happy to receive your donations of books, CDs, DVDs, and puzzles.

If you are trying to get rid of a mountain (or hill) of books but you don't have a plan, bring them to the Placitas Community Library - of course!  Yes, we receive donations of these items every week!  Your donations will either be:

  1. Added to the library collection,
  2. Sold in the library lobby,
  3. Sold in one of two online stores which we maintain,
  4. Donated to other service organizations.

Items received in a condition that we can't use are recycled.

Bring your donations to the library during operating hours.  Please understand that our workroom has limited space, so we request that you limit the number of boxes or bags to two per day.  If you have a large number of books, CDs, DVDs, or puzzles to donate, please either fill out the following form, call the library at (505) 867-3355 and leave a message for the donated books team, or email us at donatedbooks@placitaslibrary.com
