Special Town Books Donation Procedures during COVID-19

6/27/2020

The County of Marin coronavirus protocols state that donated or returned books must be quarantined for 72 hours, or 3 days. Town Books cannot isolate these books in the store or the office because of possible cross-contamination. Due to this, we are currently accepting donations only two days a week (when the store is closed) during specific hours and we must limit the amount of donations.

WHEN
Mondays, 1-4 pm
Fridays, 11 am – 2 pm
WHERE
Town Books Parking Lot
LIMITS
3 boxes/bags per donor
20 boxes/bags per day

Please consider the following before donating:
Town Books sells gently-used books, DVDs and CDs. We ask that your donation be in acceptable condition – consider: would you buy it?

Books should pass the “sniff” and “white glove” tests; if they don’t, please recycle them.
DVDs, CDS or audio books should be in their original cases, scratchless; not burned.
No videos, cassette tapes, vinyl records, magazines, games, puzzles, etc.
