How to help

Do you have good condition used kids books at home that another child could read?

We accept donations of all types of books and comics.  If a child can read it  or have it read to them we can use it!


We don't take books in poor condition,  annuals or Guinness Book of Record annual style publications older than a year.

Books can look as if they have been read and can have 1 or 2 pages turned down, but please, no books that have been drawn or scribbled on, or books with missing pages. 

No books with names written on them.

No books in generally poor or dirty condition.

1.  Look through your house and get your individual donations to us . 

 To drop off your donations see the DONATION DROP OFF PAGE .


2. Organise a collection from your family and friends.

 Mine your What's App groups and help get more kids reading.  Get your friends and family to give their books to you and we can come out to collect them, or you can bring them to Books For Kids HQ in Colinton.

 Use the CONTACT US page.

3. Be a local drop off point for your area.

Let people in your area  outwith your immediate social  circle drop their books at your house and we can arrange a bulk drop off/ collection. 

Use the CONTACT US page.
