Book Donation Guidelines

Donations Accepted!

Consider donating your used books to the library.

It’s a win-win situation: declutter your house and support the library while doing so! We gladly and gratefully accept the following items as donations:

  • Books in any language published in the last 20 years.
  • DVDs, Audiobooks on CD, Music on CD

Please help us by making sure items are in good condition before donating them (clean, dry, mold-free, not torn or missing pages, audio-visual material playable)

We do not accept:

  • Items that are unhealthy to handle (dirty, dusty, moldy, etc.)
  • Encyclopedias
  • Textbooks
  • Readers digest condensed books
  • Travel guides more than 5 years old
  • Computer books more than 3 years old
  • Magazines

You may bring up to one box of books at a time to the library during regular open hours without contacting us ahead of time. If you have a larger donation, please contact the library to arrange a drop off time. Please use sturdy boxes, such as copy paper boxes, that one person can easily carry down the stairs. Please do not leave donations on our doorstep or in the bookdrop.
