Homeschool families go through curriculum fast. As children age up, learning methods evolve, and educational needs shift, parents find themselves with shelves and boxes of materials that no longer serve their family's journey. In New Mexico, where a vibrant homeschool community thrives, these transitions create an opportunity to pass along resources to families who need them.
If you're a homeschooling parent in Albuquerque ready to clear out those completed workbooks, outdated textbooks, and teaching guides, the New Mexico Literacy Project makes donation simple, free, and accessible 24 hours a day.

What Homeschool Materials Do I Accept?
NMLP accepts all types of homeschool and curriculum materials. Core subject sets, specialized programs, supplemental readers — all welcome:
- • Textbooks — math, science, history, language arts, and more
- • Workbooks — even if they're written in, highlighted, or partially completed
- • Readers and readers — literature collections, chapter books, and reading programs
- • Flashcards and manipulatives — math blocks, vocabulary sets, and hands-on learning tools
- • Teaching guides and answer keys — instructor materials and resource books
- • Any condition — highlighted pages, dog-eared covers, outdated editions all welcome
I also accept children's books that often accumulate in homeschool households. These books are donated free to UNM Children's Hospital, care facilities for adults with developmental disabilities, school libraries in rural counties across NM, and APS Title I classroom libraries, ensuring they keep books in circulation across my community.

Why Donate with NMLP?
Your homeschool materials represent real learning investments. Rather than letting them gather dust or end up in a landfill, donating with NMLP keeps them in circulation where they'll support other learners.
I've worked to keep more than 500,000 pounds of books in circulation across the Albuquerque area. Every textbook, workbook, and teaching guide you donate has the potential to end up in another family's hands.
