The library accepts donations of new or used books, magazines, DVDs, Blu Rays, books on CD, and music CDs. Donations are accepted with the understanding that no restrictions are placed on their use, and that the library is not obligated to keep donated materials for any length of time. The main criterion for accepting donations is whether the library can use these items in the collection or sell them.
Donations may be added to the library collection, sold by the Friends of the Library or recycled based on need and the condition of the material. Items that are kept for the library’s collection will be added to the collection at the library’s convenience. All donations and the receipts from the sale of donations become the sole property of the library. Library staff will issue a receipt to the donor upon request identifying what type of material was donated (i.e. books, magazines, etc.) and the number of items donated. All gifts to the library are tax-deductible as provided by law; however, the donor is responsible for determining the value of the donation, not the library.
The library does not accept donations of any kind that are obviously damaged, have an odor, or are otherwise unsuitable or unusable. The library prefers that donations be brought in small boxes. If available, library staff will help retrieve donations from the donor’s vehicle, but assistance is not guaranteed. If assistance is required, the donor will need to call ahead and schedule assistance.
