The Mets are piloting a Book Drive, powered by the Amazin’ Mets Foundation, to benefit Queens Public Library on Thursday, January 15th from 3:00 PM-7:00 PM at the Mets Team Store. Queens Public Library (QPL) is one of the largest and busiest public library systems in the United States, dedicated to serving the most ethnically and culturally diverse area in the country. QPL has a presence in nearly every neighborhood across Queens, with 66 locations borough wide.
Fans who donate five (5) or more:
- New children’s books (for Pre-K through 3rd grade reading level) and/or
- Gently used books (for all ages)
will receive a voucher redeemable for two (2) tickets to a select Monday – Thursday Mets home game in 2026. Fans will be limited to one (1) ticket voucher per person.
Periodicals, magazines, encyclopedias, and computer, health, finance topics or textbooks that are more than three years old will not be accepted. All non-fiction materials must contain up-to-date information.
Additionally, the QPL bookmobile will be outside the Team Store from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM for complimentary library card sign-ups.
Gently used books donated by fans at the Book Drive will be sold to raise funds for QPL’s library collections, and new books will be distributed to children participating in QPL’s youth programming. Donations will directly support Queens Public Library’s mission to transform lives by cultivating personal and intellectual growth and by building strong communities.
