Free Books
Don’t forget to check our Recycling Depot Blog for all the books we have for you. Just click on the link in any of the entries to submit a request for any of the items you would like to read. We will send them out to you.
While there are a few new books coming in we would welcome any contributions of books you have purchased, read and enjoyed. So please think of the Library@EPA Recycling Depot when you are clearing your bookshelves to make room for new titles and pass the old ones on for others to enjoy.
