WE ARE NOW MOVING TO AN APPOINTMENT SYSTEM FOR DONATIONS!

With how busy the shop has been getting, and our packed calendar of music and community events, we want to be sure we’re able to give your donations the attention they deserve. As such, we will now only be taking donations by appointment. Please press the handy button below to find a time for us to meet.

As a mostly-used bookstore, the community’s donations keep us going! Thanks for bringing your already-loved books to us, so that we can start their next chapter.

We give discount credit in exchange for book donations, which can be put towards a 50% discount on used book purchases, and 10% off new books. If you’ve donated to us in the past, it’s the same system, and we’re honoring all credit accrued under the Couth’s previous ownership.

We may ask you to take some books back with you if they’re at all damaged, or if we’re just full up on that genre. We also ask that you bring in no more than two boxes at a time.

We particularly appreciate:

  • Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy

  • Recent literary fiction (last five years or so)

  • Classics

  • Philosophy

  • Children’s books (ideally only lightly chewed)

  • Tabletop RPG books

  • Queer Lit/Theory

We’re a bit full up on:

  • Biography/memoir

  • US History

  • Religion/Spirituality

  • Thrillers

We don’t take:

  • Textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries

  • Books on specific disciplines or trades (such as architecture, law, engineering)

  • Magazines

  • Books too large to fit on our shelves!
