Half Pint Library When we began the Half Pint Library program in 1999, we had no idea the support from our patrons would be so tremendous. Thanks to your help, we have provided more than two million books and created hundreds of Half Pint Libraries across the nation. We hope to reach even greater heights each year, and your donation of new and gently used children's books will help to share the joy of reading with even more children. Donate your new or gently used children’s books at any Half Price Books location. 199,372 books were donated during the 2010 Half Pint Library Book drive. Thank you. Help share the love of reading with deserving children and their families. There are several ways that you can get involved with the Half Pint Library project benefiting community organizations near your neighborhood Half Price Books.
