Our mission is to collect and repurpose books to support and sustain local nonprofits, libraries, and educational programs throughout the Sacramento community. By turning donated books into tools for learning and sources of funding, we empower organizations that foster literacy, knowledge, and opportunity for all.

Our Goals & The Power of Book Donation

We believe in the lasting power of books—not just as sources of knowledge and inspiration, but as tools for building stronger, more educated communities. Our primary goal is simple: to collect gently used books and use them to support nonprofit organizations, libraries, and educational programs in the Sacramento region. We envision a Sacramento where every child has access to books, every nonprofit has the resources they need, and no usable book goes to waste. With your help, we’re turning pages into possibilities—one donation at a time

Each book we collect is an opportunity to extend the life of a valuable resource, fund programs that change lives, reduce waste and promote sustainability, and for you to make a real, local impact.

How Your Donations Make a Difference

When you donate to Sacramento Book Donation, your books don’t just sit on a shelf—they get to work. Here’s how:

1. Fueling Nonprofit Initiatives

We work with a network of local nonprofits and community organizations that are focused on education, literacy, and access to knowledge. Some donated books go directly into the hands of readers through these groups. Others are resold to help generate funding, allowing these organizations to expand their reach and impact.

2. Supporting Libraries and Educational Programs

Many school libraries and community learning centers face budget cuts and lack the resources to keep their collections up to date. Your donations help bridge that gap, giving educators and students access to the books they need to grow and succeed.

3. Promoting Sustainability

Books are often discarded long before their usefulness ends. By donating, you help reduce landfill waste and give new life to items that still have so much to offer. It's a simple but powerful way to support a more sustainable future.

Why Donate?

• Clean up with purpose – Free up space in your home, classroom, or office while making a meaningful contribution.

• Support your community – Know that your books will benefit local causes, not sit in storage or be shipped overseas.

• Feel connected – Join a community of book lovers, educators, and advocates who care deeply about literacy and learning.
