Where can I donate foreign-language books in Albuquerque?

Foreign-language books are a high-impact donation category at NMLP because demand routinely exceeds supply across the New Mexico bilingual and immigrant-serving communities.

Languages NMLP regularly routes:

• Spanish — highest volume; routes to APS bilingual classroom libraries (an established NMLP partner), NM Catholic congregations, South Valley LFLs, and Spanish-speaking refugee resettlement programs when the category fits.
• Diné (Navajo) — limited supply, high demand; category fit for NM tribal education programs and Diné-language reading initiatives across the region.
• Vietnamese — Albuquerque has a longstanding Vietnamese community; NMLP makes available to community contacts where the alignment exists.
• Mandarin Chinese — routes to local Chinese-American community contacts when alignment fits.
• Russian, Ukrainian — when supply allows, NMLP works with refugee resettlement partners in Albuquerque to find homes for these.
• Arabic, Farsi, Pashto — same model; NMLP routes to refugee resettlement programs serving Afghan, Iranian, and Syrian families in the metro when there's a category-fit donation.
• French, German, Italian — UNM language departments and private language teachers; some private collectors of vintage editions.

If you have a language collection from a former language teacher, immigrant family member, or international student, NMLP routes carefully. Free pickup statewide. 702-496-4214.
