How to Donate Used Books

For donations of a small quantity of books (10 items or less), there are now 2 labeled boxes on a cart inside the Main Library lobby (on the right side of the lobby). For larger quantities, please continue to drop off your items, weather permitting, on Wednesdays from 2 - 4pm and on Saturdays from 10am to noon curbside near the sheds which sit between the History House and the Police Station. We accept books, DVDs, audiobooks, CDs, and puzzles in resale condition. Books must be packed into cardboard boxes or brown paper bags. Books in plastic garbage bags are not accepted.

The donation station will not be open when rain is present or anticipated.
