Book Donations


The BDS warmly accepts and appreciates donations towards the purchase of new titles for the BDS Catalogue. Often, BDS groups choose to donate a set of books in memory of a member who has passed away, or to commemorate a group’s enduring relationship with the BDS.

If you would like to make a monetary donation to the BDS for the purchase of books, or wish to donate a set of books, please Contact the BDS office.

We can:

  • supply you with a list of titles (books that have been approved for inclusion into the scheme) from which you may choose, or
  • review a book you send in to us for consideration. If you have a title in mind, send a reading copy to the BDS office and it will be read and reviewed by the BDS Readers’ Network. The BDS sub-committee reserves the right to make a final decision on books accepted into the BDS Catalogue.

  • Donations are acknowledged in BDS newsletters, and on the BDS website, and a group plaque is placed inside the donated books.
