Can I donate 1000 books at once in Albuquerque?

Yes. Donations in the 1000-8000+ book range are routine NMLP scenarios — estate libraries, retired faculty cleanouts, scientific-library deaccessions from Sandia / Kirtland / LANL retirees, downsizes from Albuquerque's longtime book-collecting households, and commercial-property cleanouts.

How to schedule a large-volume pickup:

• Call or text 702-496-4214 with the address and the rough scale (one bookshelf, one room, whole house, 8,000 volumes).
• NMLP schedules in 2-4 hour blocks. A 1000-book pickup is typically one block (3-4 hours). A whole-house cleanout (5,000-8,000+) typically needs 2-3 days.
• NMLP brings the van and the hand truck. No staging required from the donor — books can be on shelves, in boxes, in stacks, in storage units, in basements.
• Extra boxes provided if you need them for staging.
• Sort happens at the warehouse — you don't pre-sort. NMLP's 3-track sort handles category routing.
• No fee, no minimum, no maximum.

For estate cleanouts at this scale: NMLP coordinates with executors, attorneys, hospice care coordinators, senior-move managers, and out-of-state heirs. See estate cleanout services.

The largest single library NMLP has handled: four bedrooms and a dedicated library room, about 8,000 volumes, two days, three van loads.
