Earlier in 2024, ThriftBooks began a partnership with Little Free Library through book donations and sponsorship of Impact Library Program book-sharing boxes and today we are proud to support Little Free Library on GivingTuesday. All purchases made on ThriftBooks.com today, Tuesday, December 3, 2024, will contribute towards our donation of 1% of our net revenue to Little Free Library and their programs. You do not need to opt in or add extra funds to your checkout. Simply purchase as you normally do on ThriftBooks.com (be sure to check out our holiday gift guides for great book gift ideas) and you will contribute towards our donation. It's that simple.
