Yes. Out-of-state donor situations are common at NMLP:
- Out-of-state heir clearing an inherited Albuquerque home — the most common scenario. NMLP coordinates by phone or email with the heir; access via realtor lockbox, estate attorney, neighbor with a key, or hired property manager. Before-and-after photos provided on request. NMLP handles full library cleanouts at estate scale without the heir traveling to Albuquerque.
- Out-of-state donor shipping books to NMLP via USPS Media Mail — works for individual high-value or sentimental books. Donor pays the shipping; NMLP receives, sorts, and routes. Address: 5445 Edith Blvd NE, Unit A, Albuquerque NM 87107.
- Out-of-state donor coordinating a relative's downsizing in Albuquerque — common for adult children whose senior parents are moving into care facilities. NMLP works directly with the parent or with a coordinator on the parent's behalf.
- Former Albuquerque resident who left books in storage — NMLP picks up at storage units in the metro for free.
Pickup covers the Albuquerque metro only. Without an Albuquerque-area address to pick up from, donor-paid mail-in is the way in — see donating books by mail.
Coordinate by phone or text at 505-250-3804 or email hello@newmexicoliteracyproject.org.
