The library accepts donations of like-new books, CDs, and DVDs that are clean and in good condition. Items we feel would benefit our customers go into our collection; others go to the FriendShop or are posted for sale online. Tax receipts are available.

Donations of a few items can be placed in our book returns. For larger quantities, please leave them outside the back of the library, at the white garage door. (Use the driveway just east of the book return.)
