Answer: Q: Can we donate books to the Library? A: Yes, you can donate books, but under certain conditions that take into account their condition, their relevance to our documentation policy and our existing collections. Books that are not suitable for our collection will be sent to Ammareal, an online bookshop specialising in the sale of second-hand books. Guided by its motto ‘Books never die’, Ammareal collects, sorts and sells books online at affordable prices. This anti-waste and solidarity-based partnership allows us to take concrete action in favour of the circular economy by giving books a second life, supporting the promotion of reading, and participating in the financing of actions to combat illiteracy and promote reading among vulnerable populations. Our solidarity partnership means that these sales contribute to supporting the Le Secours Populaire Français association, which receives 5% of the sale price of each book sold. For any donations, please contact the librarians directly.
