COVID UPDATE: DONATING BOOKS
If you have less than 100 books you can donate via the book drop outside of our Freeport warehouse (Please do NOT leave boxes next to the drop box)
While our remote drop sites are still closed, we have engaged a number of volunteers who are hosting Drop-Off Book Drives across Long Island. For the most up to date info on those drives, please follow us on social media.
For book donations of more than 100 books, we are arranging appointments for designated drop off days at our warehouse.
For information about scheduling a drop off, or for all other matters, the best means of communication is to email us at info@thebookfairies.org.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we work through this crisis. We look forward to resuming normal business when things open up.
Stay safe and healthy

This ground breaking attempt took place in Wyandanch, an underserved Long Island community whose students lack access to books. The books used to successfully break the Guinness World Record were immediately distributed to the children, families and schools of the Wyandanch community.
