About

Join us in the BFK Warehouse!

We'll be finding homes for all the new books coming that are destined for 2025 Spring distributions. More books arrive in the warehouse almost every week, and volunteers like you make the inventory process manageable! Your help in the warehouse is absolutely pivotal in ensuring that we're using our resources to the fullest extent by keeping an accurate inventory of what remains on hand.

What can you expect from your time with us?

Processing new incoming inventory destined for 2024 Spring Distributions!
Packing books into boxes
Moving boxes from one work space to another for those capable of doing so
A real good time spent alongside other like-minded, book-loving individuals

Here's some things to remember prior to your volunteer shift!

Be sure to wear weather appropriate clothing as our warehouse is not air conditioned.
We do have water bottles for volunteers but we still encourage folks to bring their own as well!
Please be sure to wear closed toed shoes to your shift!

DO NOT GOOGLE BOOKS FOR KEEPS AND FOLLOW THE ADDRESS YOU FIND.
The warehouse is located at 420 Athena Drive, near Athens Tech and Southern Brewing Company. Please follow the directions below. There is no signage at the road, so it is easy to pass right by it!

If you're coming from Hull Road/Hwy 29, you'll go over a set of railroad tracks. Our building is the third driveway on the right after the railroad tracks.
Look for the building with the doorway that has a blue awning facing the road.
When you pull into the parking lot, drive all of the way to the far side - you'll see a door with the Books for Keeps logo, next to a loading dock.
The door might not be open when you arrive - but we're in there!
Try to fill in the parking spots closest to the big recycling bin first if possible.
