How do I donate books after my spouse died in Albuquerque?

Donating a deceased spouse's books is one of NMLP's most common pickup scenarios. The workflow is built specifically for this moment:

• Respect for pacing — there's no rush from NMLP. Some surviving spouses call within weeks of the death; others wait months or years. Both are normal.
• No requirement to sort, explain, or justify — bring everything however it is. Marked-up favorites, untouched gifts, embarrassing pulp paperbacks, treasured family copies. NMLP takes the whole library.
• Pickup at your home, not a drop-off — saves you the drive and the loading. NMLP brings boxes if you need them.
• Quiet pickup, no upselling, no sympathy performance — respectful and brief. Josh shows up, loads the boxes, and goes.
• If you want to know where the books went later — NMLP keeps simple sort logs. Ask by phone after the pickup.
• If specific books should stay (a copy you want to keep, a Bible with family records, a signed gift book) — set those aside before pickup. NMLP doesn't touch what's not in the donation pile.
