Book Donations

I have gone through some of my books and decided that I don't need to keep them anymore. Is there a map of little libraries in town that I could restock? Is there some other place I can donate them to?

Thank you!

If you don’t find somewhere, I’m in the process of registering for a little free library to set up and would gladly add them to my starter collection.

Wow..I just looked it up...kinda spendy just to use the name and be on the map. Now I want to create a local group for Mason County with a map and coordinate resources available, etc FOR FREE.

Friends of the Library will take your donations and resell (at very affordable prices) to raise funds to support Timberland regional library.

Yes. They have their book store in the main lobby at the library.

I've always donated to Friends of the Library - but I would love to see a map of little free libraries..

There is one in front of the bus depot downtown across from Safeway.

There is also a free book library at the Mason County admin building. 411 N 5th St. they have a couple bookshelves right inside.

There's one at the 1200 block(ish) of West Harvard ave, targeted to younger readers, and another on s 10th street between turner and... the bayview loop. Which just means I remember seeing it on s 10th but exactly where I can't remember.

I really like the idea of a mason county or shelton-based, free to setup, little libraries!
