As of June 1, 2025, we will no longer accept book donations at our stores other than Bibles and religious books. The decision was made after careful consideration and in light of the fact that there are other organizations that are better suited to accept this type of donation. Our stores will be focusing on our core business that serves our neighbors in need, which includes such things as clothing, furniture, and housewares. This change will allow us to expand our space so that we can accommodate more of these items that serve our neighbors.
If you have books that are in need of a new home, we recommend looking towards your local library! Here are links by County for more information:
Boone County – Kenton County – Campbell County – Falmouth Kentucky
