Free School Books Always Work For Me!
Sound good to you? I thought it might.
I recently learned about a non-profit organization called Book Samaritan that supplies curriculum to home schoolers who need the extra help.
How marvelous!
They work entirely on a donation basis - which means they rely on the donations of others to make it work. So if you’re not interested or in need of requesting books, you could still donate them to help others in need.
I love it when people get together to help other people. It’s the Golden rule and the 2nd greatest commandment (love your neighbor as yourself) at work in real life.
On May 28th, I put a letter in the mail to Book Samaritan requesting our remaining needs for the upcoming year and when I checked my mail on Saturday, June 7th I had a package slip waiting for me. I couldn’t believe it was that fast! We excitedly dug through the box when we got home, and we’re very pleased with the things we received. Together with what we already had, we have basically everything we need. Princess still wants a piano book, which we should be able to acquire before the fall semester starts.
So if you’re interested, check out their website and send them a letter. The only thing they require is that you donate the books back to them or to someone else when you are done with them, instead of selling them for a profit.
I think that’s a great idea.
And if you’re willing to send them your old books, by all means, go ahead and do that, too. Some home schooler somewhere will be greatly blessed.

Note: I’m not getting the website to pull up, but it has in the past. My hubby and I emailed them and got a response saying that they are working on their site, but they are still there and open for donations and requests.
To send requests (the more general your curriculum request, the easier your order will be to fill) or donate books, mail to:
