We will be open for browsing AND accepting book donations!Don't forget about our May event!
Book Giveaway: 9am-5pm
We will allow patrons into the building to select their own books, typically using a timed-entry format. (This is to keep the line moving and serve more patrons!) Lines are longest in the morning and tend to taper off. You may always get back in line.
About 100 patrons will be permitted to enter on the hour each hour from 9am to 4pm. The first entrance will be at 9am, and the last entrance at 4pm. All patrons must exit before 5pm. (more details at bookthing.org)
One parent may be accompanied by a maximum of three children, and every child must be accompanied by an adult. For everyone’s safety, please ensure your children are well-supervised – our kids’ section is always very busy and crowded!
Book Donations: 9am-2pm
We welcome all book donations, with no genre restrictions, but we especially need popular fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, classics, non-diet cookbooks, science topics, English dictionaries, Bibles, and books for children/teens. We find it hard to keep these shelves restocked.
We also accept all types of popular and hobby magazines, but we can’t accept sets of academic/technical/professional journals.
The donation limit is typically 7 boxes per family. Boxes must be small enough that one person can lift them when full.
Due to space limitations, we are not accepting media items this month.
We accept all types of books except encyclopedia sets.
If you need a tax receipt for your donation, please mention that right up front. We’ll need to count your books separately. Thanks in advance for your patience!
Unfortunately, we can’t come pick up book donations, nor can we help you unload them from your vehicle.
If you have more than 7 boxes of books that you wish to donate, please bring 7 boxes on 12/10 and Contact us via the website about the rest.
Masks are no longer required indoors at TBT; masking is optional but welcome.
TBT welcomes trained service animals but is not a pet-friendly location otherwise.
