Donation: List of acceptable items
Materials that are moldy, falling apart, or otherwise in no condition to sell should not be donated to the Book Nook. Please see the recycling options listed at the bottom of this page. 

The Undergrounds Bookstore/Book Nooks are happy to accept:

Hardcover books for all ages
Paperback books for all ages
Magazines published within the current calendar year*
Puzzles and games that are complete and in good condition
*The Book Nook will not accept donations of National Geographic due to the large volume of donations they receive of this title or encyclopedias.

When all other options are exhausted, the best thing to do for old books is to recycle them. As blasphemous as this may seem, the environment (and library staff) should recycle books and other printed materials that are moldy or mildewed, damaged, or otherwise unusable.
