“This drop off centre for book donations is wonderful. They have a good selection and variety of books that others have donated and it’s definitely worth checking out. If you are looking to donate then just know that the hours for donations are limited. 3pm to 5pm Monday through Friday and 1pm to 5pm on Saturday. These pictures are from the card they gave me today 4/20/26, so this info could change in the future.”
