I was wondering if anyone knows of a place or someone that could use some childrens books. My girls are cleaning out there room and have quit a bit of books.
I am a principal of a PK-5th elementary school and we are always grateful for any books. If you don't find a good home for them, please keep me in mind. Thanks.

I would recommend donating to The Childrens Hospital. They are always in need of books in their libraries! Great place to donate used VCR tapes and DVDs too!
Try your church. They could always use books in the nursery or somewhere like that!
God bless!

A great place to donate your books for children age 5 and under, would be The Vogel Alcove in downtown Dallas. It is a day care center for children of the homeless. It is an amazing center with wonderful staff. I am sure they would appreciate the donation. They only work with children up to age 5, so if your books are for older kids, you might try the other locations listed.
You can read more about the Vogel Alcove at www.vogelalcove.org
Church schools, daycares or even family place or genesis women's shelter would be great places to start.
Hi,
I have a almost three year old grandson that loves books. Are you selling them?
I would try some of the agencies, foundations that help families in crisis - like Promise House. I'm sure they can always use them.
I think hospitals can always use them or you could sell them at Half Price and let your kids shop for new books with the $ they make.
The youth at custer road united methodist church in plano need books for a mission trip. The books need to be dropped off by 5 Wednesday. The church is on custer between legacy and spring creek.
You might consider donating them to the library - whichever local library you support. I often take my used paperbacks and some hardcovers to them and they're always appreciative!
You can sell them to Half Price Books or Kid to Kid.
If you'd feel better about donating, I would try churches, pre-schools, day care centers, etc. in neighborhoods/areas that are less fortunate where they would really appreciate having donated books for the children that they take care of.
Genesis or North Dallas Shared Ministries assist abused families get back on their feet after leaving dangerous situations. I'm sure they would love to have children's books!

Any childrens floor of a hospital would love to have your books. Many churches also are in need of childrens books if they have childrens programs or sponsor children programs.
Best of Luck

Domestic violence shelters are the perfect place for children's books. A book can be a huge comfort and a source of escape to an abused child. The Genesis Shelter in Dallas or the New Beginning Center in Garland are two that I know of. Good luck.
I believe libraries take book donations. Also shelters will take book donations.
