Share this event with your friends!

Make some shelf space this summer and donate your books here at YellowDog.

Got too many books? Probably. We know someone who could use them. Help us to get books into the hands of our community with YellowDog’s the second annual Dog-Eared Pages Book Drive benefiting BookGive!

Just bring your new and gently used books to YellowDog next time you’re in the neighborhood. All donations will help BookGive fulfill requests they receive from nonprofits, schools and individuals in the Denver metro area. This donation drive will also help stock their Free Book Room

Trade you bookmarks for books

As a thank you, we’re gifting a FREE variety pack of dog-eared bookmarks when you donate three books. We love a well-loved book, but the good old dog-ear is pretty ruff on fragile pages. Keep your favorite books nice and donation-ready with these mini die-cut delights!

Did we mention we designed and printed these babies right here at YellowDog??
