Answer sources: Sacramento Public Library book donation guidance
Sort before you travel
Remove water-damaged, mildewed, badly worn or heavily marked books. Most donations support Friends book sales, so donating does not guarantee a place on the library shelf.
Plan for carrying and quantity
Call the receiving branch to confirm it has room. Library staff do not pick up from homes and generally cannot carry boxes from your vehicle. Ask the Friends warehouse about a larger collection and its current receiving hours.
When Dropcurb helps
If your Sacramento book clear-out leaves accepted boxes to remove, Dropcurb handles loading and transport once they are outside and accessible. Pack books in manageable boxes and count each filled box, not each book. Check heavy or oversized boxes with us first. Choose the charity directly when your goal is donation; standard pickup does not promise a donation destination.
