Donate Your Books

Do you want to clean out your bookshelves and contribute to a worthy cause? At Sam’s Place we are always looking for quality used books to stock our shelves. Donating your gently used books is a great way to clear out your dusty bookshelves and support the activities of Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba at Sam’s Place. We do our best to make our books affordable and easy to find.

What do we do with the books we can’t sell? We recycle them, of course! All the hardcover books we do not sell are sent to the MCC Manitoba warehouse in Plum Coulee where their spines are cut off and the paper is sent to make insulation.

If you have books you think we can sell, please contact us at books@samsplacebooks.com or phone at 204- 415-4728.

Unsure about what we are looking for? Below is a sampling of some genres and authors people are always looking for at Sam’s. But don’t let this list limit you! If you think you have a great book, we would love to see it.
