Hi
I am the store manager at Talize Kingston and we are looking to partner up with a charity or vendor to be able to donate our used books. Is this something you would be interested in or would you know another contact that may be interested?
Thanks Ron
Hi Ron, thank you for your interest in donating books. Have you reached out to the two places listed on this website for book donations? Kingston Frontenac Public Library; and Kingston General Hospital?

I tried to donate to KGH. They couldn’t accept any because of Covid.
