***Book Donations: 1pm-3pm ONLY***
We are still in need of books these days!
The place for book drop-offs is on the "front" side of our building, next to the garage door. If you see our mural, keep driving!
We welcome all book donations, with NO GENRE RESTRICTIONS, but we especially need popular fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, classics, non-diet cookbooks, science topics, English dictionaries, and Bibles. We find it hard to keep these shelves restocked.
Please feel free to bring back books you've previously adopted! We don't mind.
We also accept all types of popular and hobby magazines, but we can’t accept sets of academic/technical/professional journals.
The donation limit is 7 boxes per family. Boxes must be small enough that one person can lift them when full. If you have more, use the Contact us via the website about the rest. Have a truckload or a library closing? CONTACT US!
No encyclopedia sets please.
If you need a tax receipt for your donation, please mention that right up front. We’ll need to count your books separately. Thanks in advance for your patience!
Unfortunately, we can’t come pick up book donations, but we might have a volunteer who can help you unload them from your vehicle.
