Donating Books
How may I donate books to the Trinity Book Sale?
We will begin to accept donations for the book sale beginning March 1, 2026.
Note that all drop offs and pickups must be booked in advance by emailing Trinity.fotl@utoronto.ca听
Drop offs will be held Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. To arrange a drop off, please email Trinity.fotl@utoronto.ca for a time. You will then be provided with instructions on where to go, packing, size limitations, etc. Note that drop off days can be very busy, so we are not able to accommodate 鈥渨alk ins鈥�.
If a drop off is not possible, please contact us at Trinity.fotl@utoronto.ca to see if a pickup can be arranged.
Books for the sale must be packed in boxes no larger than LCBO boxes, bankers鈥� boxes or boxes that are 15鈥� x 12鈥� x 10鈥� in size. This will ensure that they can be easily handled. Flaps on the boxes should be closed to permit stacking. Boxes should be packed to the top. Please do not fill empty space at the top with paper or plastic as that may cause a collapse when the boxes are stacked. Note that we reserve the right to turn away donations that do not meet our criteria.
Donations should comprise 20 boxes or fewer. Please email Trinity.fotl@utoronto.ca if you have a larger batch. We will try to accommodate but cannot guarantee.
Please note that we do not accept the following:
- Items that are musty, mouldy, or heavily marked up
- Water-damaged items or those with broken bindings or damaged covers
- Magazines or journals
- Textbooks more than 10 years old
- Encyclopedias, Reader鈥檚 Digest Condensed Books, Time/Life Books, or other subscription series
- VHS or cassette tapes.
