Friends of the Library Donation Guidelines

The Friends of the Library gratefully accept donations of books and other materials. These donations supply our book sales, which are our major source of income. Due to limited work and storage space, we ask that donors limit donations to not more than 10 boxes of materials at a time.

Donations must be in saleable condition. Water damaged, soiled and mildewed materials are discarded immediately. We can not accept encyclopedia sets (no matter the date), Reader's Digest Condensed books, or National Geographic Magazine donations.

All donations are scanned for possible inclusion in the library collection. If an item is not needed in the library collection, it is offered for sale either in the library lobby or the book sales held at the main library and our branches.
