Miscellaneous Things about the Library

Donations to the Library

The library takes book donations twice a year usually two to three weeks before our large booksales. Signs will be posted around the library when it's time to bring in your donations. The library will accept books, movies and music during stated book donation times. We will not accept: Reader's Digest Condensed Books, magazines, encyclopedias, text books or anything musty, dirty or damanged. If you keep count of the number of paperbacks, hardcovers and other items you donate, we will be happy to write out a gift receipt for you for tax purposes.

You may also wish to donate a magazine subscription or money in someones memory. Please contact the library for further details.
