DONATE

Book and Media Donations

The library accepts donations of new or gently used books and media. Donated books will either be added to the collection or sold at a Friends of the Library book sale. All donated items become property of the Library and will be used at our discretion. The library does not value donated materials.

The Library will not accept damaged or moldy items. The Library does not accept VHS or cassette tapes, magazines, encyclopedia sets, and textbooks, travel guides, or manuals more than 5 years old. Please note that items on this list that are donated will be put directly into our dumpster, which causes extra work for library staff. The Library must decline large-scale donations due to a lack of storage space. No more than two boxes of donated books at a time please.

Donations are accepted at the front desk during operational hours; no need to call ahead. If you need assistance, please let staff know. Library staff cannot pick up items from businesses, organizations, or residences.
