1. Placing the books in the nearest Book drop Box (read BDB List)
2. Contact our volunteers at spd@1001buku.org or 08176838410 for the Pickup Books Service. We pick up books to the donator?s location only for certain amount of books to be donated.
 
We accept and distribute ONLY story books, science books, illustrated books, comics, magazines, etc, which suit children from kindergarten - junior high school ages, and do not have any  pornography, violence, Ethnic group-Religions-Races disputes contents.
