Online Book Sales

In accordance with the nationwide effort to curb the spread of the Cornavirus, we have decided to postpone any upcoming pop-up book sales. We’ll share new dates for sales when that information becomes available.

Book Donation Program Frequently Asked Questions

What does TAP Books do with the donations?
TAP Books helps turn used books into stable revenue for TAP programs, gives free books to people in need, and creates jobs in our community.
What kinds of books does TAP Books want?
We take all kinds of books, new and old.
Are there books that TAP Books does not want?
We’ll take anything, and there’s no need to sort or filter your donation. We are, however, less interested in donations of magazines, encyclopedia sets, or books in very poor condition.
How do participants in TAP programs benefit?
TAP programs issue vouchers for books, including children’s books, to TAP clients for them to select books to share with their families. We also put together book bags that are occasionally distributed to TAP families. Our programs that serve incarcerated individuals also take donated books to prison libraries.
How does TAP Books create jobs?
It takes a lot of labor to gather, process, and sell book donations. A majority of the revenue from TAP Books goes into the paychecks of our employees to help them support their families. Where possible, we give employment opportunities to participants in TAP programs.
Does TAP resell donated books? Where?
TAP Books sells books through various online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay and through occasional pop-up sales. The proceeds are then used to support TAP programs.
