During "normal" times, when the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library is open and functioning, Grace's Book Nook welcomes your tax-deductible donations of new and used hardcover and softcover books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks. In addition, during "normal" times, the Book Nook is happy to accept donations of (unused) greeting cards, intact jigsaw puzzles, educational games, etc. We depend on such donations and love our role in finding new, appreciative homes for your gently used books and more. And, best of all, the funds earned are used to purchase new books and materials for our library, support programming for all ages, and provide equipment and amenities for our library that are not covered by the city's budget—truly a win-win-win!

However, during the months that our library is closed for construction and renovation, we will be unable to receive any donations. If you can possibly hold on to your donations until our library has reopened, that would be very much appreciated. However, if you're unable to wait, may we suggest that you redirect your donations to other libraries in the San Diego Public Library system or their Friends of the Library groups' book sales or used bookstores. It is best to call before donating. Nearby libraries include:

**The Friends of the San Diego Public Library (FSDPL), of which the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library is an affiliate chapter, holds a large monthly book sale, the proceeds of which benefit the entire San Diego Public Library system. The FSDPL book sale space is located on the lower level of the University Heights Branch Library and is accessible from the Howard Ave. driveway into the Sprout’s parking lot. They are in a position to accept small as well as very large donations, which branch libraries may not be able to handle. Donations of books and media are accepted on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 AM – 12 noon or by appointment. To discuss a special donation or make an appointment, email booksale@friendsofsdpl.org or call (619) 542-1724. There are also 24-hour donation bins located along Howard Ave.
