Books donated to the Library become the property of the Library and cannot be returned.
We prefer the following:
- Books published in the last five years and recognized classics
- Popular paperbacks
- Commercially produced CDs and DVDs
- Magazines for the Library’s give-away shelf
We cannot accept the following:
- Encyclopedias, dictionaries or textbooks
- VHS or audio cassette tapes
- Donations not in good physical condition (musty, damaged etc.)
The Library reserves the right to say “No, thank you” to donations that do not enhance the Booksale or Library collection.
Donations may be accepted anytime. Please bring donations to the Help Desk in containers that do not need to be returned. Due to space limitations, the Library cannot accept more than three boxes of materials at a time.
Thank you for thinking of us!
