Friends of the Library Foundation Book Donation Guidelines

The Friends of the Library Foundation used book sales raise tens of thousands of dollars each year to help support programs, services, and special projects that raise library services to a higher standard of excellence. Your generous donations of materials for use in the sales helps to support the library for years to come. You can help us further by not donating materials that will not be used in the sales, and that will cause us to incur costs for disposal.

Donations Guidelines:

We welcome donations of gently-used books, DVDs, and music CDs. However the following items are not accepted for book sale donations:

• Books in poor condition (i.e., moldy or water-logged)
• Former library books, except for Children’s, Large Print, or Western/Americana
• Pamphlet-like recipes or cookbooks
• Maps or magazines
• Textbooks or encyclopedias
• Reader’s Digest condensed books
