International Donation and Shipment of Books

If you are interested in donating books to countries overseas, there are several organizations that distribute books to other countries. Many of these organizations distribute books overseas at no cost to the donating person or library other than shipping costs to the U.S. facility.

Be aware however, that most organizations only accept new books or books in good condition-these are not places to "book dump" unwanted literature.
