GENERAL FAQS
Read some of our most frequently asked questions.
Can I sign my family members up to volunteer with me?
If you are a family looking to volunteer together, please see our instructions on how to add children’s profiles to your volunteer account here.
Can I sign up my company for a volunteer session?
Teamwork makes dreamwork. If you are volunteering as a group of 3 or more from separate households, fill out our Group Request Form, and a member of our Volunteer Services team will help coordinate a reservation.
Can someone pick up books from my house that I want to donate?
If your donation exceeds 500+ books, contact us, and we will schedule a pickup. For book donations of less than 500 books, you can donate books at Bernie’s Book Bank locations or search for your nearest Book Drop Partner.
Every book drop location has different hours of operation. The best plan is to confirm the hours the location is open before driving over to drop off books.
You can drop off books at Bernie’s Book Bank from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, and select Saturdays.
Can we have books sent to our location for a special event we are having?
We are currently using all of our production capacity and book supply to meet our commitment to our 700+ school and U6 partners. If you have a specific request please contact us and it will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
