Book donations

We appreciate your interest in supporting us! With your help, we will be able to meet our goals and develop our projects, including, for example, providing schools and other pedagogical institutions with needed reading materials.

We accept certain books, cd's, dvd's, records, video games, board games, and toys.

Up to 20 items can be donated on the spot at any time in any one of our locations.

Important: To donate more than 20 items, please contact us beforehand!

Step 1

If you would like to donate more than 20 books or items, please send us beforehand an email including photos of the items to be donated, preferably as a jpg file. In that way, we can be sure to use your donations in the best possible way. It is not necessary to photograph each book or item to be donated individually; book ends of stacked books or items (e.g. cd's or dvd's) on a book shelf would suffice (see above for example photos).

• E-Mail: buchspende@buechertisch.org
• Telephone (for further questions): 030 / 61 20 99 96 (Mon-Thurs, 10:00-14:00)

Step 2

We will respond to your email and inform you if and when you can deliver your donation. We only respond to emails within telephone ours.

Step 3

Once you have received an invitation to donate your books or items, you are welcome to donate your items at our storage location in Berlin-Neukölln.

• Open hours: Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, 10-16:00.
• Address: Richardstr. 83, Hinterhof (rear courtyard)

In the case that it is impossible for you to deliver the books or items, please inform us per email. Under certain circumstances, we can provide pick-up services for the donations free of charge. You will need to provide details of your location, including city neighbourhood (Bezirk) in your email. Please note that due to our limited resources, we can only provide pick-up services for large donations in exceptional occasions!

What happens to the books or other items that you donate?

• Donations
  We support schools, kitas, and other social institutions with various donations of needed reading and medial materials.
• Support and Accessibility
  Your donated books also form the material basis for many of our projects. You can learn more about our projects here.
• Sales
  A portion of the books and medial items donated by you are sold to finance our institution and our work. Every book or item sold at our locations or through our onlineshop helps to fund our projects.

We thank you for your support! ❤️
