Donate books to charity online
Looking to declutter your bookshelves and give your pre-loved books a new home? WeBuyBooks makes it easy to donate books online while supporting a charity you care about!
Simply scan the ISBN barcode on each book using our website or app, receive an instant valuation and send your accepted books to us for free. Choose the charity donation option at checkout and, once your books have been received and checked, we’ll donate their accepted value directly to your chosen charity.
We’re passionate about keeping books in circulation and reducing waste. When you donate your books with us, your pre-loved books can be discovered and cherished by new readers, while the money they raise supports a good cause, helping you make twice the difference while freeing up space at home.
With barcode scanning, our app is the quickest and easiest way to sell your books.
Your unwanted books can do more than just find a new home, they can also help support a cause close to your heart when you choose to use our charity donation option.
When you complete your sale, choose the charity donation option instead of entering your payment details. Select one of our charity partners and, once we’ve received and checked your books, we’ll donate the value of the accepted items directly to your chosen charity. Your books go on to new readers, your charity receives the money they raise, and you enjoy some extra space at home.
You’ll be glad to know we consider books from almost every genre. Whether we can accept a book and how much it could raise depends on the title, demand and condition, but specialist, hobby and academic books tend to be worth the most. Simply scan the ISBN barcode on each book to find out whether we can currently accept it and how much it could raise for your chosen charity.
No ISBN? No problem! Some old or specialist books don't have an ISBN, which can make it difficult to get a price for them. However, you can still sell books without an ISBN using our catalogue! Browse hundreds of specialist books on our catalogue to find yours.
Books aren’t the only items that can raise money for your chosen charity. We also buy selected CDs, DVDs and video games, so you can clear out more of your unwanted items in one go. Scan the barcode on each item to find out whether we can accept it and how much it could add to your charity donation.
We have clear condition guidelines for the books, CDs, DVDs and video games we can accept. Your items don’t need to be brand new, but they must be complete, clean and suitable for someone else to enjoy.
It’s best to check our full condition guidelines before sending your books. This will help ensure that as many of your items as possible can be accepted, rehomed and used to raise money for your chosen charity.

Free up space by clearing novels, textbooks, children’s books and more. Your pre-loved books can go on to be discovered and enjoyed by new readers.
There’s no need to search for a book donation point near you. Get an instant valuation online and send your accepted books to us for free using an available postage or home collection option.
Your books are given another chapter and their value supports the work of your chosen charity. It’s one simple donation with two meaningful benefits.
Every book donation goes a long way! Your pre-loved books can find new readers while the money they raise helps fund vital work that changes lives, supports communities or protects animals, depending on the charity you choose.
