Friends of the Covington County Libraries is a private nonprofit organization supporting the public libraries in Collins, Mount Olive, and Seminary through book sales, donations, fundraising, and other activities. The group has specifically used donated books—including books from estate sales—to support its annual sale and literacy programs.

For estates with suitable books and related materials, this can provide a local reuse option rather than disposal. Donation needs may change throughout the year.

For an executor, administrator, or family sorting estate property, this can be a useful targeted donation option when the listed goods are still usable but no longer needed by the estate. Do not assume the organization accepts every household item or an entire estate load. Confirm current condition standards, quantity limits, drop-off or pickup procedures, and whether bulky, unusual, or estate-sized donations can be accommodated before moving property.

Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
