Community Book-Sharing Program # Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas, TX Community book-sharing program in Dallas Schedule Free PickupView All Dallas Services # Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network runs a community book-sharing program in Dallas built on free doorstep pickup. A Local Pick-Up Partner collects donated books between 8 AM and 8 PM, sorts them offsite, and redistributes many of them to schools, libraries, and literacy programs through Give ME Books. ## What Is a Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas? A community book-sharing program moves books from homes that no longer need them to readers who do, with no money changing hands at either end. Give My Books Network runs one across Dallas, and it starts at your door. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that does the collecting. Pack your books, set them out by 8 AM, and the partner takes them free of charge. Nobody needs to be home. Schedule Free Pickup ![What Is a Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas?](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## How Does the Give ME Books Program Work? Organizations request books through the Give ME Books program, and Local Pick-Up Partners fill those requests from what they collect. Give ME Books is the redistribution side of the community book-sharing network — the part that sends titles back out. - Title I classrooms asking for readers. - ESL programs and adult literacy groups. - Senior centers and after-school tutoring programs. - Shelters and prison literacy programs. - Little Free Libraries that have run dry. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Does the Give ME Books Program Work?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Who Receives Books in Dallas? Schools, libraries, nonprofits, literacy programs, community centers, and Little Free Libraries across Dallas receive books through the Give ME Books program. Requests come from the organizations themselves rather than being pushed at them. ### Where to Donate Books to Dallas Schools and Libraries Give My Books Network is the simplest route, because a Local Pick-Up Partner collects from your door and handles the sorting and the matching afterward. Direct donation also works when a school drive is open and asking for what you have. Walk Bishop Arts or Kessler Park and you will pass Little Free Libraries on porch posts and front lawns, some thriving, some empty by February. Those small boxes are the visible edge of a community book-sharing program. The pickup is the invisible part that keeps them stocked. Schedule Free Pickup ## How Do I Join the Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas? Enter your ZIP code on the Give My Books Network site and schedule a free pickup. If a Local Pick-Up Partner serves your ZIP code, you can book a service day immediately; if not, your request enters the out-of-area pickup system. 1. Pack books into boxes, totes, or doubled grocery bags. Partners do not bring boxes. 2. Keep every container light enough for one person to carry. 3. Set everything outside by 8 AM in a shaded, covered spot. 4. Leave it there. Collection runs from 8 AM to 8 PM. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Do I Join the Community Book-Sharing Program in Dallas?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Can My Organization Request Books? Yes — schools, libraries, nonprofits, shelters, senior centers, tutoring programs, and homeschool families can request titles through the Give ME Books program, and Local Pick-Up Partners fill requests from what they collect nearby. Honesty matters more than a sales pitch here. Requests are matched against what has actually been donated, so a specific title is not something anyone can promise. What the [American Library Association's Book Donation Programs guide](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) says about mismatched donations is exactly right, and it is why the request side of the program exists at all. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Does Give My Books Network Ask of Donors? Three things: pack the books, set them out by 8 AM, and leave a 3-click review afterward. Reviews are how Local Pick-Up Partners earn public ratings and Top Giver standing, and they are the accountability that holds the network together. Some collected items are resold by the partner, which is what pays for the free service — a fact worth stating rather than burying. Items that cannot find a second life may eventually be recycled, as a last resort. Across Dallas the flow stays simple: books leave a porch near the Trinity River on a Tuesday and reach a classroom that asked for them.
