Book Donations

Fiction and Nonfiction aisles in the library

Your generous donation of gently used books or other materials is appreciated. All materials must be in good condition. Please see the donation criteria below. Donations may be brought to the library during business hours and may be left in the donation bin located near the elevator in the lobby. Please do not place donations in the library book return. Library staff is not available to pick up donations offsite or unload donations from patron vehicles.

If you require a donation receipt, please visit the circulation desk at the time of your donation. We will provide a receipt for items accepted for collections. The receipt may be used to show a donation for tax purposes. We are unable to assign an appraised value for donated items. You may wish to refer to IRS Taxpayer Information Publications 526, Charitable Contributions, and 561, Determining the Value of Donated Property, for assistance in deciding what value to claim for your donations.
