Resale value at bookstores drops fast once a new edition comes out. So they sit. In a closet, in a parents' garage, in a graduate's old bedroom that has not been touched since they moved out.

Schedule Free PickupView All Scottsdale Services ## Why Textbooks Are Hard to Donate Almost Anywhere Else Most public libraries cannot accept textbooks. Most thrift stores will not take them either. Resale value at bookstores drops fast once a new edition comes out. So they sit. In a closet, in a parents' garage, in a graduate's old bedroom that has not been touched since they moved out. Stacks of organic chemistry, calculus, economics, and intro psych slowly aging in place. Give My Books Network is built for exactly that gap. Textbooks are accepted, regardless of edition, regardless of subject, regardless of how worn the highlighting is. Schedule a free pickup, set them outside, and your Local Pick-Up Partner handles the rest. Schedule Free Pickup ![Why Textbooks Are Hard to Donate Almost Anywhere Else](/assets/service-community-books-Blt8OCE1.jpg) ## What Kinds of Textbooks We Pick Up in Scottsdale Every level. K-12 textbooks, workbooks, language books, math, science, social studies. College and university course material across every subject. Graduate-level texts, professional reference books, study guides, MCAT and LSAT prep, AP review books. Older editions are fine. Highlighted pages and margin notes are fine. Sticky notes and a few dog-ears are fine. What does not work is mold, heavy water damage, or pages that have been torn out. The book has to be readable for someone else. And to repeat what shows up on every page on this site: you do not need to sort textbooks from anything else. Pack them in the same boxes as your novels, cookbooks, or kids' books. Your Local Pick-Up Partner handles all sorting after collection. Schedule Free Pickup ![What Kinds of Textbooks We Pick Up in Scottsdale](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## Where Textbooks Go After a Scottsdale Pickup Textbooks have a few specific paths. Many K-12 textbooks are redistributed through the Give ME Books program to schools, after-school tutoring programs, homeschool families, and ESL classrooms. College textbooks often move toward students at community programs, prison literacy programs, and adult education centers. Older editions often still match coursework at smaller schools and tutoring centers, even when major universities have moved to newer editions. Some items may be resold to help sustain the free pickup service. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled as a last resort. National-level patterns for textbook donations are described in part by libraries and library associations. The [American Library Association's Book Donation Programs guide](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) notes the specific challenges of routing donated textbooks and how community book donation programs handle them. Schedule Free Pickup ![Where Textbooks Go After a Scottsdale Pickup](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Why People in Scottsdale Donate Textbooks Specifically Most textbook donations come from a small number of recurring situations. A college student is moving home from out of state and cannot ship the books. A graduate is finally clearing the boxes that have been in the parents' garage in McCormick Ranch since 2019. A teacher is retiring after a long career and clearing the remaining classroom material. A family is downsizing from a North Scottsdale home and finds five shelves of textbooks from the kids' undergrad years. None of those situations have a great drop-off option. Pickup gives them one. Schedule the time, pack the boxes, leave them outside, done.
