Where can I donate books after a death in Albuquerque?

Estate library cleanouts are about 30% of NMLP's volume. The workflow is built specifically for this situation: executor settling a parent's house, surviving spouse clearing a partner's library, out-of-state heir handling a relative's estate, family clearing the home of someone who recently moved into hospice or assisted living.

What that looks like in practice:

• Free in-home pickup — no fee for any quantity, including full house libraries
• Respectful pace — no rush, no judgment, no suggestion that something "should" be discarded
• Coordinates with executors, estate attorneys, hospice coordinators, senior-move managers, out-of-state family
• Out-of-state heirs handled regularly — coordinate by phone or email; access via Realtor lockbox, attorney, or vetted neighbor; before/after photos provided on request
• Valuable items flagged honestly — if a signed first edition or rare regional book surfaces during sort, the family is told so the estate can route it to an auction house if preferred
• No tax receipt (NMLP is for-profit) — Goodwill or Friends of APL is the route if the deduction is the priority
