Website for donations of books free to schools dealing with 3 to 18 years old?

Question

I have a recreational Centre for kids from 3 to 18 years old. I need various books for the liberary. Where can I get books free for the liberary

Answer 1

Websites to donate free books to schools but you say you have a recreational center. Is it a school too?

Perhaps you can write for a donation on www.donorschoose.org (I think you have to be a school teacher)

Is this a center for disadvantaged youth? In that case, you might be able to contact First Book. http://www.firstbook.org/site/c.lwKYJ8NV...

Try contacting second hand stores in your area such as Goodwill. Ask them to donate books to your center if they can't sell them. How about your local library sometimes they have book sales. You may want to try www.craigslist.com look under free (sometimes they have books) and www.freecycle.org

Otherwise start contacting publishing companies and ask for donations. When I  had to build a classroom library for my students, I shopped around at the second hand stores and garage sales. I was never able to find free books off the Internet although I did look.  Good luck.

Answer 2

local schools after they let out often have free books. check locally to see if any used book stores make donations. online you can usually find sites that sell super cheap. like 30 cents a book--good luck, reading to our youth and having books available is so important
