Concord Has Always Known the Value of a Good Book.
Concord is home to one of the richest literary legacies in America — from Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson to Louisa May Alcott, who wrote Little Women right here in town. When Concord residents are ready to part with their collections, Bay State Book Company makes the process straightforward with a free home pickup request.
Home pickup requires a minimum of 300 books. If you have fewer books to donate, you can find a nearby donation bin here: Find a Bin Near Me

Concord: Where Books Have Always Had a Special Meaning
Concord is home to the Concord Free Public Library, which holds one of the world's most significant collections of Louisa May Alcott's literary manuscripts, the most extensive intact collection of volumes from Henry David Thoreau's personal library, and materials connected to Emerson and Hawthorne. Residents here tend to have deep relationships with books — historic homes with built-in libraries, inherited collections passed between generations, and personal archives accumulated over a lifetime of reading. When those collections need to move on, Bay State Book Company serves as a trusted partner for responsible book removal and donation.
