Your generosity directly supports our operations and the employment and training of our employees with disabilities. We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your donations are deductible in accordance with federal tax regulations. 

We accept online donations using major credit cards and PayPal. 

Or if you prefer, you may mail your check to: Westport Book Sale Ventures, Inc., 20 Jesup Road, Westport, CT 06880.

Donor information is never shared.

New volunteers are always welcome.

Please come and share your talents and skills by contacting us to volunteer for any and all of the following:

• Volunteer at a Book Sale event 

At our book sale events, volunteers help by carrying, unpacking, organizing and merchandising our inventory for sale; preparing marketing materials and communications, placing signs and posters around Westport and surrounding communities to advertise a book sale; or working a shift during a book sale as a greeter, way-finder, re-shelver, tallyer or cashier.  

​

Please note: volunteers are expected to be able to work independently; we do not provide continuous individual supervision of volunteers, nor do we take responsibility for volunteers remaining on the premises.  Minors who wish to volunteer at a book sale typically are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

​

• Volunteer year-round in the Book Donation Center

Volunteers at our Book Donation Center, located adjacent to the Westport Library, sort, evaluate, research, price and organize the tens of thousands of books donated throughout the year.  Volunteers also help restock our daily book sale shelves inside the Library, and the community outreach shelves at locations such as the Westport train stations and the Westport Center for Senior Activities.

• Volunteer to work with adults with disabilities

For those who want to further the abilities of our employees with disabilities, please share your skills and experience.  We seek volunteers with social work, special education, vocational training, psychology and other similar experience, and parents and friends of individuals with disabilities.

The next book donation day is

Thursday, October 29th.  

​

Where:  Donors are asked to bring their materials directly to the grey brick shed located immediately next to the Book Donation Center, in the Upper Parking Lot of the Westport Library, 20 Jesup Road.

​

How:  Donations are "contact-less".  Please deposit your materials directly into the plastic bins inside the grey brick shed or, if your donations are in boxes, stack the boxes inside the shed, on the floor beside the bins. Donated materials will be quarantined in the shed for three days before being handled by book sale volunteers or employees.   

​

For your protection, when at the shed, please observe social distancing, and wear a mask.

​

In order to limit exposure of our book sale volunteers and employees, we are not scheduling book pick-ups at this time. 

​

Please, do not leave book donations on the ground outside the Book Donation Center or the shed. Unfortunately, any materials left outside will be recycled, not resold, due to exposure to the elements and an inability to segregate and quarantine.
