May I donate books to the library?
We gladly accept book donations to the University Libraries. In addition, the Women’s Library Association (WLA) supports DU libraries through an on-campus used book store called The Book Stack. Book donations are reviewed to evaluate whether the materials should be in the University's academic libraries. If not, they are directed to the used book store for sale, and all proceeds from the sale of donated, used books are used to purchase new materials for the University Libararies.
We accept gifts approved by the Curator of Special Collections or the Collections Librarian:
- Rare or valuable books
- Strong collections of scholarly material in the humanities
- Books that fit into one or more special collections (cook books, dance books, history of the book, artists' books)
Please contact Michael Levine-Clark, Collections Librarian (michael.levine-clark@du.edu or 303.871.3413) or Kate Crowe, Curator of Special Collections (kate.crowe@du.edu) with questions. For book donation information please call (303-871-2665) or email wlabook@du.edu.
Book pick-up is available for large donations. Please allow two to three weeks for pick-up.
