Donate Books

Your donated books will be used in any of the three TCLP libraries. Your donated books may also be used for fundraising activities like our Great Book Giveaway events where donors are thanked with gifts of books. Please donate your books if you have no objection to their being used in fundraising.

If you are interested in donating NEW BOOKS: You may send us books we need from our Amazon wishlist.

If you are interested in donating USED BOOKS: Please donate only those books that are inĀ mint condition. The energy spent in collecting used books and cataloguing and finally shelving them is justified only if the book is in good condition and with a long life ahead of it. Your donation of used books will be to the Free Libraries Network.

  • Our greatest need is for children and Young Adult books in Hindi, other Indian languages and English, both fiction and non-fiction. Non fiction books should be relatively recent, i.e. not over 15 years. We also need books for adults in Indian languages & English. 
  • We do not accept workbooks and encyclopaedia sets. Textbooks, test prep books and other higher education books should be within the past three years.
