Surplus Books Program

At all times, the Library of Congress has thousands of books available for donation to eligible groups. These surplus books are not needed for the Library’s own use, so members of Congress may donate them to schools, libraries, community centers, and other such organizations in their district.

Eligible organizations and institutions must be located in the United States and fall into one of the following categories:
1. Full-time, tax-supported, or nonprofit educational institutions such as schools, school systems, colleges, universities, museums, or public libraries.
2. Agencies of local, state, or federal government.
3. Nonprofit institutions or organizations that have tax-exempt status under the provisions of Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (see 41 CFR 101-44.207(a)(17)) and operate a library and/or research center open to the public.
