Donating Books and the Book Sale

When you've read your books hundreds of times and have them memorized by heart, you have a few that you never really liked, or if you're moving, it may be time to give some books away and make room for new ones! If you're looking for a place to donate your used books, why not bring them to the library?

We gladly take donations of gently used items. We accept most books and DVDs, but we cannot take any Reader's Digest books, old magazines, textbooks, or encyclopedias. (These sorts of items can be put in the free book boxes located in our lobby.) If you have recent books or DVD's you'd like to donate, we may process and add them directly to our collection! Older items will replace our worn copies or supplement our existing copies. If we can't add an item to the collection, we'll sort it in our Book Room and sell it during our weekly Book Sales.

Every Saturday we have a Book Sale in the Book Room from 10am-1pm. We have a variety of donated books (self-help, cooking, teen's, biographies, and fiction, just to name a few) as well as a few DVDs, CDs, books on tape, and other goodies! All of the proceeds benefit the library, so don't hesitate to purchase an item for yourself or a friend. With most hardcover books at only $1 each and paperbacks set at 5 for $1, you can't go wrong! Our collection is constantly changing, so check back often!

We depend heavily on our patrons to keep the library beautiful and running smoothly. Donating books that you no longer want or need to the library really makes a difference to us! Many thanks to all of our current Book Room regulars and donors, and thanks in advance to our future supporters! You are a great help!
