Fill out our pickup request form and tell us a little about the collection. Helpful details may include:

• General subjects or categories

• Whether the books are from an estate, downsizing move, office, or personal library.

We service many areas throughout the Baltimore region and surrounding communities. Large collections, estate libraries, academic books, vintage books, history collections, theology books, art books, and nonfiction collections are especially helpful to mention.

Step 2: Schedule a Convenient Pickup

​

Once we review the information, we’ll coordinate a pickup time that works for you. Many pickups can be completed directly from the garage, porch, driveway, office, or inside the home depending on access and collection size.

We understand that book collections are often connected to life transitions, including:

• Downsizing

• Estate cleanouts

• Moving

• Retirement

• Home sales

• Family transitions

• Office and classroom cleanouts

Our goal is to make the process as stress-free and respectful as possible.

​

Step 3: Books Are Sorted for Reuse & Redistribution

​

Many books still have years of life left in them. Instead of being discarded or forgotten in storage, we work to help place books back into circulation whenever possible.

Books may be:

• Resold to readers and collectors

• Rehomed through community organizations

• Shared with Little Free Libraries

• Provided to childcare and literacy programs

• Redistributed through nonprofit and reuse partners

• Recycled responsibly when unusable

We believe books deserve another chapter.
