About Free Book Rescue
We're a mission-driven local service dedicated to connecting book donors with community organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Every book we rescue finds a new purpose - whether in a classroom, library, community center, or the hands of someone who needs it. We believe that every book deserves a second chance to inspire, educate, and entertain.
