We are accepting donations in our parking lot.
- We have two Contactless Donation Stations every day from 7am-7pm, except when it’s raining. There are pallet-sized boxes and also an empty pallet. They are on either side of the building.
- We accept books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, comic books, puzzles, board games, and some other items (ask questions at otheritems@grassrootsbooks.com)
- We’re glad to unload. Give us a call at 775-828-2664 (press 4 to speak to a human) or check inside.
We hope to resume buying soon. We experimented a bit, and what we found is that:
- We need good weather, so we can do most of the work outside (including evaluating, checking in, and paying cash). This is temporary while we’re keeping distance during the pandemic.
- We need to finish rehiring. We are trying to hire 5 people. We’re taking applications by Craigslist.
We are buying now, in a limited capacity. Here’s what we can do as of 2-26-21:
- Vinyl records, audiobooks and comic books. Drop in on Wednesdays or Thursdays from 10am to 11am. Or email for an appointment at vinyl@grassrootsbooks.com.
- New releases (last 6 months). Email us at newreleases@grassrootsbooks.com.
- Depending on details, we may be able to do a house call for 1000+ items that we can use in our store. Send an email to bringyourbigtruck@grassrootsbooks.com for details.
