Donate Books & Materials

Many of our libraries accept donations of used books, audiobooks, and DVDs. The library's Friends group can then offer the items for sale with proceeds going directly to the library.

  • Donations are accepted at most libraries and are tax-deductible - see our donation policy and ask for a receipt when you donate.
  • Please only donate gently used, clean books, tapes, CDs, DVDs - we cannot accept moldy, mildewed or damaged items or items with missing parts.
  • Because of limited storage, please consult library or Friends store staff before bringing a large donation.
  • Be sure to follow donation guidelines for the specific library regarding magazines; some libraries do not accept magazines or have strict guidelines regarding which magazines they will accept. Check with library staff or Friends before donating.
  • Shop at a Friends' book store - the money you spend goes directly to the Library.
