Book Drop Collection 2026

Give Your Books and Media a Second Life

Looking to declutter your home this summer? Floris has an easy way to turn your unwanted books and media into resources that others can enjoy for years to come with our Book Drop Collection 2026.

On Sunday, June 14, bring your gently used:

  • Books
  • Magazines
  • Record albums
  • CDs
  • DVDs

Donations can be dropped off during the morning worship services. If you cannot make it that day, no problem. Book Drop bins will also be available in the Floris parking lot for convenient 24/7 drop-off.

Why Donate?

Many of us have shelves, closets, and storage boxes filled with items we no longer use. Instead of throwing them away, consider giving them a second life.

Book Drop collects, sorts, and redistributes donated materials to:

  • Libraries
  • Academic institutions
  • Thrift stores
  • Wholesale bookstores
  • Community organizations

Your donations help ensure these items continue to be read, studied, listened to, and enjoyed by others.

A Small Effort, A Lasting Impact

That novel you finished years ago could become someone’s next favorite book. Those old CDs and records could bring joy to a music lover. Educational materials could help support students and lifelong learners.

By participating, you will:

✓ Declutter your home
✓ Keep usable items out of landfills
✓ Support literacy and education
✓ Help valuable resources reach new audiences

Start Gathering Today

Take a few minutes to look through your bookshelves, storage bins, and media collections. Set aside the items you no longer need and bring them to Floris on June 14 or drop them in the Book Drop bins at your convenience.

Together, we can reduce waste, share resources, and help connect books and media with people who will appreciate them for years to come.

Want to Help Beyond Donating?

We’re also looking for volunteers to assist with the Book Drop Collection. Whether you can help collect, sort, organize, or support the event in other ways, your time and effort make a meaningful difference.

Sign up to volunteer here:
