Last updated October 10, 2024.
The POP Project is currently operating without a dedicated indoor storage and volunteer space. We are on the hunt for a new space that will allow us to spread out, welcome daily volunteers again, and take in loads of new book donations.
Find out the current state of our operations for each of our programs below.
Book Donations
POP is currently operating out of a storage unit. We CAN currently accept most small book donations, but CANNOT accept large donations due to a shortage of storage space. *If you would like to donate a large amount of children’s books, please reach out.* We’re working hard to prepare additional space for your great books. Thank you for your patience.
Alternate donation locations:
- Books for Good, Fletcher: booksforgoodinc.com
- Anna’s Books, Haywood County: annasbookswnc.com
Book Deliveries
POP CAN AND WILL safely pack and deliver books to organizations in need. Click here to learn more about deliveries of adult-level books, children’s books, audiobooks on cassette and CD, and much more.
Volunteer Opportunities
We CANNOT currently accommodate daily volunteers or groups. However, if you would like to work with POP on a regular and ongoing basis, please reach out. Some individual remote volunteer opportunities are available. Contact Sarah Giavedoni, our volunteer director, for details: aPOPproject@gmail.com.
Little Free Libraries
POP manages several Little Free Libraries around Buncombe County. If you see a LFL in need of books, please let us know.
Need a Little Free Library? POP currently has one FREE little free library available that needs a new home in a public space, in or near lower-income communities, and easily accessed by children and adults alike. If you know of a location that may fit the bill, please contact us today: aPOPproject@gmail.com.
Fundraising Opportunities
The POP Project is 100% volunteer driven and our daily operations are 100% privately funded. Every dollar you donate is directed to our programmatic and administrative needs. And every dollar translates into $10+ in FREE books delivered back out into the community. Please give today.
Other Ways to Support POP
There are plenty of ways to support POP and our mission to get books to all in need that don’t involve opening a wallet or giving your time. Check them out.
