WHAT YOU DONATE DRIVES WHAT WE CAN DO
Your books and media create the work.
Every useful donation gives our team something real to research, identify, evaluate, catalogue and redistribute. That work develops skills, reveals interests and helps individual talents emerge.
Quality matters more than quantity.OUR PURPOSE
Not separated from society.
Part of it.
Every person brings a different way of thinking, learning and contributing. Green Street Books exists to create a place where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can use those abilities in meaningful, intellectually engaging work.
MEANINGFUL WORK
Work built around ability.
Our employees learn and apply real skills: evaluating donated materials, researching items, identifying value, cataloguing inventory, organizing stock and helping quality books and media find new homes.
The goal is more than completing tasks. It is continued training, confidence, independence and the opportunity for each person to contribute their individual strengths.
