FAQ
What will happen to my books after I sell or donate my library?
Your books will be carefully cataloged, moved and preserved as part of a larger curated archive or distributed to new stewards who value their content and history. We ensure each volume finds a meaningful next chapter—whether in private collections, research institutions, or with passionate readers—honoring the spirit in which the library was built.
Do you help with packing and transporting my library?
Yes. We operate across the United States and work with trusted partners in many major cities to professionally pack, transport, and handle your collection with care. Whether your library is in a private home, office, or storage unit, we coordinate the entire process to make it seamless for you.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of books you accept?
Yes. We specialize in sizable private libraries and typically work with collections ranging from 2,000 to 50,000 books. If your collection falls within this range, we can properly evaluate, pack, and relocate it with the attention it deserves.
How do I get started with having my library evaluated?
It’s simple—just send us clear photos of the spines of your books as they sit on the shelves. This gives us enough information to begin an initial assessment of your collection’s size, subject matter, and potential value.
