Books, books, books – for teachers, families, and young people around the world.
If you need school books or other children’s books, you’ve found just the right place!
Bring us books you don’t need anymore; we’ll  find them good homes.*
  • School Administrators: No-longer-needed texts or school library books taking up storage space?
  • Teachers: Need more copies of certain texts? Supplementary materials?
  • Parents: Want books to enrich your child’s education at home?
  • Non-Profits: Need any textbooks or library books for young people?
  • Service Clubs: Want to send books overseas or to another place in the U.S.?

The Book Exchange finds second homes locally and globally for children’s reading and K-12 school books – and certain college-level books. Working with Marin county youth, educators and service clubs, we promote education and literacy worldwide.
