We are often asked if we would be willing to donate the books to charitable causes. Please read the “How does it work” section and you’ll see how much work is put into every book swap. We have had many people come and ask us to donate the books that we’ve worked so hard to collect. The answer is:
- We have put in a tremendous amount of work to raise money for charity. Please make us a bulk offer so that we can continue to fulfill our goal while helping you as well. Win-win for everyone.
- If your goal is to collect books to sell to others, no, we are not interested in giving you books for free.
- If your goal is to collect books for an assisted living center (that is charging people tens of thousands of NIS to run their business), please ask them to make an offer and we will be happy to donate that amount to charity and allow you to take books.
- If you have a charity that you’d like to support and think it’s a great idea to get books for free and sell them, we agree. Please consider a donation to OUR cause, so that we can help you support YOUR cause.
In short, over the last 10 years, we’ve noticed that many come forward. Some are for amazing causes (lone soldier centers, free bus libraries, the local Maale Adumim library, school programs), and we’ve offered books for free or for the equivalent of a NIS or less a book.
