BOOK DONATIONS

We do accept donations of books and other library materials on a limited basis. These materials must be clean and in good condition.

After careful evaluation by our professional staff, donations will either be added to the library collection, or sold in a branch's book sale for the benefit of the library. Unsold items are either donated to charity or discarded. We do not accept outdated textbooks or encyclopedias, nor do we find that magazines sell very well at book sales.

Due to limited storage space at our branches, most only accept donations just before a book sale. Check the library newsletter for information about upcoming branch book sales. You may also call your local branch to ask if they are currently accepting book donations.

Donated materials that are added to the libraries' collections must meet the same standards as other materials we select.

Receipts for donations will only indicate the type and number of items donated; the donor is responsible for deciding the value of the donated items.
