Donate Your Book

Donate Your Book

Give your books a second life - and help a child rise.

How It Works

  1. You donate your book
    Fiction, non-fiction, kids’ books - anything gently used and in good condition.
  2. We resell it online
    Every donated book is listed in our store to find a new reader.
  3. 100% of profits go to our Read to Rise program
    Empowering young kids across Aotearoa through education, leadership, and wellbeing.

What Is Read to Rise?

Read to Rise is our social impact initiative turning second-hand books into real-world support for young kids in New Zealand.

Funds raised from donated book sales will help support:

  • Educational access and literacy
  • Leadership workshops and scholarships
  • Confidence and life skills development

We’re actively working looking to partner with organisations to shape these programs and ensure they create meaningful, local impact.


Why Donate?

  • Keep books out of landfills
  • Support Kiwi kids from underserved communities
  • Turn your shelf into a stepping stone for someone else
