Thurston County Public Works has announced the temporary closure of book donation bins at its drop-box facilities in Rainier and Rochester and the Waste and Recovery Center (WARC) in Lacey.
This decision comes in response to Discovery Books, the service provider for the bins, indicating that they will no longer be servicing them for the foreseeable future.
Effective immediately, the book donation bins at all three locations will be closed to the public until further notice.
Residents are advised to hold onto any books they intend to donate until services are resumed.
In light of this closure, Thurston County Public Works apologizes for any inconvenience caused and assures residents that alternative options are being explored to resume the book collection service.
For those seeking reuse or recycling alternatives for used books, Thurston County Public Works suggests visiting the Thurston County website or contacting 360-867-2491 for further assistance.

I've been dropping books off at the Library in Tumwater, on Israel Road. Of course, any donated books should be in good condition, no mildewed (if it smells musty, it's mildewed) or damaged books.
