Book Donations

We are not currently accepting book donations. When we do accept them, books must be published within the last 5 years and in good condition — no worn, moldy, or highlighted items.

We cannot accept magazines, encyclopedias, or textbooks. Unaccepted items are directed to our book sales, which fund library programs.
