donation and trade policies
Donation Policy
Donations are accepted providing they are void of all signs of life. This includes bugs, pest droppings, mold, etc.. At this time we are not registered as a 501(c) and cannot provide any tax documentation for donated goods.
Trade Credit
Trade credit may be given in exchange for decent-quality literature and audiobooks. While normal wear and tear is expected, books should be free of excessive marking/highlights, breakage, and water damage. Please be sure you understand how trade credit applies to your future purchases if you decide to bring things in.
how trade credit works
Trade credit can be used on 50% of your total purchase, excluding purchases for gift cards, consignment items, or glass case items. The remaining 50% must be paid with cash, or a credit/debit card. This helps us ensure we can pay our rent each month.
Trade credit does not expire except in cases of no account activity in over one year.

Genre/Type | Quality | Credit Given |
Childrens & Young Adult | Decent Quality | $1.00/per |
Horror | Acceptable + | $1.50/per |

Cash Purchases for Books
At this time we are extremely limiting cash purchases for inventory. If you have something you would like us to consider, please reach out via email at VillageBooksofSouthernOregon@gmail.com. You are welcome to include a picture of the item and make us an offer and we will get back to you when we've had a chance to review.
