I pick up the whole library — free.
In the Albuquerque metro, keep the few books you want to hold onto and I take the rest — any condition, any quantity, no sorting. The sellable books re-enter circulation to be read again; the rest go free to Little Free Libraries and community literacy partners, or are recycled. No book goes to the landfill.
For-profit book donation and resale. Donations are not tax-deductible.
Why a library deserves a record
When books go to a chain thrift or a hauler, they vanish into a flow — no name, no record, no way to know whether a parent's library found readers or a transfer station. A certificate does a small, real thing against that: it says this collection existed, it belonged to someone, and it was sent on with care. Families frame it, tuck it into the estate file, or link the memorial page from an obituary so the library is remembered alongside the person.
It is a remembrance, not an appraisal. It never puts a price on the books — that isn't what a library is for, and it isn't what I do. What it records is simpler and truer: the name, the date, and the fact that the books re-entered circulation to be read again.
