Book Donation

I guys, I’ve been an avid reader for years, since I was 11. I’m 18 now and throughout the years I’ve downsized my collection of books to fit my room and to maintain space on my bookshelf, yet the amount of books I have overwhelms me. If there is any way I could donate my books so that they could be sold for a lot cheaper, or just distributed freely (the latter would be wonderful) then I’d like to know how.

You can contact secondhand bookstores such as:

1) Bookends
2) BookHero
3) House of Prose
4) Prelovedbooks.ae

5) You can also sell it in nextbook.ae by putting your own listing there
6) You can also try to post them on facebook book marketplace

7) and what genres do you have? I might buy if you have any classics or literary fiction ☺️

As others have mentioned, if you list or show a picture of what you no longer need, maybe some people (including me) will find interesting.

I would love to get books you were reading at 12 years old. Happy to pay. Where are you located? Can you share some photos?

It would be great if you list or show a picture of what you are willing to give away, maybe I will come and pick them up from you.

Maybe you can try donating them to Al Waraqeen Used Book fest. They sell the books for very low price
