Book hunting in Middlesbrough
Nearest-first is a decent route plan on its own: cluster your visits, start with the shops closest to each other, and save the outliers for days you're passing anyway. Charity shops re-shelve constantly, most put new donations out every day or two, so a shop that was quiet on Saturday can be a different shop by Wednesday. Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons, and it's always worth asking a volunteer when the book trolley comes out.
3 of the shops here have their opening hours on record. Where no hours are listed, nobody has recorded them yet.
If you want the odds on your side, read our guides to finding good books in charity shops and spotting the books worth grabbing before you set out.
Donating books in Middlesbrough
28 of the shops here are charity-run and take book donations during opening hours. If you pay UK income tax, filling in a Gift Aid form at the till lets the shop claim an extra 25% on whatever your books sell for, at no cost to you. Shops pay to dispose of what they cannot sell, so a bad donation costs the charity money. The test before you pack a bag: would someone buy this today? Recent fiction, classics, cookery and children's books move. Old textbooks, out-of-date travel guides and anything damp or mouldy do not.
Our guide to where to donate books covers which shops suit which books, and what to do with a whole house clear-out.
