Bookmans’ customers can donate their unused trade credit directly to support library needs within the district.

Bookmans' customers can donate their unused trade credit directly to support library needs within the district. The donation box is located at the store's check-out registers.

The idea originated from Lisa Martin, Coyote Trail Elementary librarian, in 2011. The support of Bookmans and their customers has generated approximately $2,400, to date, in trade credit to MUSD libraries. Librarians throughout the district have used the trade credit to add popular in-demand fiction to their collections, to replace well-loved but damaged or lost books, as well as add non-fiction and additional reference items.
