DONATE BOOKS

Our project relies on your book donations - we wouldn't exist without them! We accept new and used paperback books. You can mail book donations to us at: Books Behind Bars PO BOX 2611 Wildwood, NJ 08260. You can also email us at: info@booksbehindbarsnj.com to schedule a drop off.

(PLEASE NOTE: We are NOT currently accepting general popular fiction. We have limited storage capacity and it takes a lot of volunteer power to sort through book donations. Please be mindful of our policies when donating books! We can NOT accept hardcover books. Paperbacks only - thank you!) ​
