Donate Books

Book Fairies directly supports hundreds of under-resourced school districts and community-based organizations to improve children’s literacy rates and build a better future. Your upcycled books can make a difference in the lives of underserved people living across Long Island, New York City and internationally.

Book Fairies accepts all age books in good condition, from baby through adult, published in the last 20 years. We also accept college-level textbooks published within the past 10 years. We do not accept encyclopedias, magazines, CDs, DVDs, or faith-based books.

Deposit books in the blue bin outside the entrance at the back of the building.
Bin Is Emptied:
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday

Located Behind Back of the Building:
70 North Main Street
Freeport, New York 11520

Please do not overload the book bin or leave books or boxes of books outside of the bin, as they may get ruined by the weather.
Drop the books into the bin a few at a time.

We also have many remote drop-sites throughout Long Island. See our list of drop-site partners for locations.
