Confirm a place before packing the car
Tell the Library Store roughly how many books you have and their condition. Wait for confirmation that it can receive them. For another LAPL branch, contact that branch directly rather than assuming the same intake rules apply.

For larger collections
The Library Store points donors toward American Book Drive as another Southern California option. Contact the receiving organization with your quantity and location before committing to a handoff. A small-volume store donation is not a plan for an entire estate library.

If donation leaves items you need removed, check Dropcurb pickup in Los Angeles and confirm your address before booking.
When Dropcurb helps
If your Los Angeles book clear-out leaves accepted boxes to remove, Dropcurb handles loading and transport once they are outside and accessible. Pack books in manageable boxes and count each filled box, not each book. Check heavy or oversized boxes with us first. Choose the charity directly when your goal is donation; standard pickup does not promise a donation destination.
