About the Libraries

Got books? The Friends of the University Libraries have a convenient drop-off location.

If you are weeding books or simply clearing shelves at home or in the office and have books in good condition, please consider contributing them to the Friends of the University Libraries. The Friends accept books all year round (no journals please). Most donations will go towards the periodic book sales, the proceeds of which will be used to purchase important materials for the University of Arizona Libraries' collections. Donations may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please note that we are unable to provide an appraisal of book donations.

The Friends' drop-off location is 1535 E. 8th Street, located on the NW corner of Cherry Avenue and 8th Street, two blocks south of the stadium (print flyer).  You may drop off donations on Thursdays between 9:30 am and 12 noon. Parking is available at no cost.
