Give your books a new life abroad. Donate them to the International Book Project.

900 million children and adults cannot read or write. Many of these people live in the developing world where they have little access to books and other educational resources.

You can make a difference by donating your quality used books to the International Book Project, a not-for-profit book distribution organization that has distributed over 5 million books to needy communities around the globe.

These volumes stock the shelves of village libraries, primary and secondary school classrooms, community centers, churches, and universities. They open doors to intellectual and spiritual growth as well as increased educational and economic opportunity.

IBP accepts a wide range of quality used books. We are particularly interested in:

• Classic and contemporary literature
• Fact books (history, business, biographies etc.)
• Children’s literature and picture/story books
• Dictionaries
• Primary, secondary, and higher education textbooks, copyrighted after 2000
• Books in Spanish and French

IBP does not accept:

• Magazines
• Books in poor condition (torn, missing pages etc.)
• Encyclopedias
• Textbooks copyrighted before 2000

Shipping books abroad is costly. Please include a financial contribution with your gift.

Donating even a dollar per book opens the door to literacy and educational opportunity for children and adults throughout the developing world. Donate online or include a tax deductible contribution in your box of books shipped to the International Book Project.
