Book Donations - Each year Friends receives nearly half a million donated books, which
we in turn resell to the public through two bookstores and a number of
book sales – including the Big Book Sale, the largest book sale on the
West Coast. All profits benefit the Library and many books are donated
to schools and other non-profit organizations. Notable books are
offered to the special collections of the Library. For more information

Car Donation Services - Now donating your car, truck, motorcycle or boat to Friends of the SFPL is as easy as donating your books. Donating your vehicle is a great way to support the library--and the vehicle doesn't even need to be in working condition. We have partnered with Car Donation Services, a reputable, local company that has been in business for almost 20 years.
They will pick up the vehicle at no charge to you, provide you with a donation receipt and all tax related documents and even process the DMV paperwork. For more information on how to donate your vehicle, click
here or call 1-888-686-4483. Be sure to let them know you want the proceeds from your vehicle to benefit Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.
