Book Donation Guidelines

Book Donations Welcome Year-Round!

The Friends of the Library will gladly accept donations of books throughout the year for their book sale, but we ask that you follow these guidelines:

Please drop off donations only during the library open hours.

We have a place they can be stored inside the library until someone can sort them, so please bring them inside.

Please donate only clean, gently-used books.

We cannot accept broken, dirty, musty, or smelly books.  If you would not put it on your coffee table, we probably can’t take it.

We cannot accept the following items:

    • Textbooks
    • Magazines
    • VHS tapes and audio cassettes
    • Encyclopedias
    • Outdated computer, travel, and reference books

If you have more than 1 box to donate, please call ahead to make an appointment.

We reserve the right to turn away donations at our discretion.
