Can I donate an entire library in Albuquerque?

Yes. Full library donations are NMLP's most common donor profile — estate libraries from a deceased parent, downsizing seniors moving to assisted living, faculty retirees clearing UNM offices, scientific-library cleanouts from Sandia and Kirtland retirements, and house-clearing for closing or move-out.

The largest single library NMLP has handled was four bedrooms and a dedicated library room — about 8,000 volumes — across two days and three SUV loads. That's a typical scale for an estate cleanout and the workflow handles it.

How to schedule a full-library pickup:

1. Call or text 702-496-4214 with the address and the rough scale (one bookshelf, one room, whole house, 8,000 volumes).
2. If the timeline is tight (closing date, move-out, family deadline), say so — or pickups are possible with notice.
3. I show up with the van and the hand truck. The pickup is scheduled in 2-4 hour blocks; full-house cleanouts may need a follow-up day.
4. I bring extra boxes if you need them.
5. Sort happens at the warehouse — you don't pre-sort.
