NMLP covers Santa Fe for large book donations — typically 50+ boxes — with free pickup. The drive from Albuquerque allows for routing larger collections efficiently, so the threshold is set around what justifies the trip.
For smaller Santa Fe book donations, the local options include:
- Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library — book sales fund the Santa Fe Public Library system, drop-off at branch locations
- Goodwill of New Mexico — Santa Fe locations on Cerrillos Road and other addresses accept drop-off donations
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore Santa Fe — limited book intake alongside building materials
- op.cit. Books on Marcy Street — used bookstore that takes in trade-credit donations of saleable books
- Big Star Books on Cerrillos — used bookstore with a similar trade-credit model
For Santa Fe donations involving entire estate libraries, faculty libraries from Santa Fe Institute or St. John's College, or downsizes from Las Campanas, Aldea, or Eldorado: 702-496-4214. NMLP handles the logistics; the drive is included.
