Give your books a new home
Free pickup. Easy donation. Making a difference.
Got books, CDs, DVDs or other media gathering dust? Sophibooks makes passing them on simple. We collect them from your door at no charge and give them new homes where they are needed most.
What we accept
Books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, board games, puzzles, video games and more. Hard or soft, old or new, whatever the subject — if it is a book, we will take it.
Most conditions are welcome, from like-new to well-loved. Please recycle anything mouldy or badly damaged rather than sending it to us.
Where we collect
We pick up throughout Central Texas, from Waco down to San Antonio — including Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Temple, San Marcos and New Braunfels. Not sure whether you are in range? Ask us and we will let you know.
Why donate to Sophibooks
Completely free
No cost to you. We collect and rehome at no charge.
Front porch convenience
Leave your items out by 8am and we collect between 8am and 8pm.
Reliable communication
Confirmation by email and updates so you are never left wondering.
Supports your community
Books are resold locally at affordable prices and donated to schools and libraries.
Keeps books out of landfill
Every donation extends the life of something that still has plenty left to give.
Flexible scheduling
Book a one-off collection or set up a recurring pickup.
Libraries are essential
We do not compete with libraries — we complement them. If you want to support your local library directly, please do. We encourage it.
But here is the reality. Libraries have restrictions. They often cannot accept textbooks, encyclopedias, old editions or large quantities. They get full. They have to say no.
We do not have those restrictions.
We pick up from libraries
Libraries use our pickup service when they need to clear space.
We give to libraries
Libraries can request specific titles from us when they need them.
We are not replacing libraries
We handle the overflow. When you need items gone conveniently, when the library says no, when you simply have more than they can take — we are here.
