Need Books? Take a Look!

Haverhill Promise donated over 3,000 books back into our community in 2023, through events, partners, and family programs. As of April 2024, we have donated an additional 1,000 books across our city! If you are looking for a book donation for an event or have specific needs, reach out to us to see if we can be of support!

There are also a variety of sources for free and low-cost gently used books in Haverhill including the Haverhill Public Library, Little Free Library boxes, elementary schools with Book Swaps for students, and Ruth’s House Thrift Shop, which sells children’s books 5 for $1!

Looking to donate your gently used books?

Reach out via email to Haverhill Promise if you’d like to donate books directly. We are always happy to take new or gently used books and distribute them around the city and at community events. You can also donate them to a school Book Swap, Ruth’s House, or find a Little Free Library that needs to be restocked. You could even set up a Little Free Library of your own on your property! Visit the official Little Free Library website for details and best practices.
