We greatly appreciate your donations of quality used books and media materials. Please check that your donations do not have water damage, ripped or missing pages, mold, stains, or debris.

- Textbooks
- Encyclopedias & Dictionaries

Bring your boxed or bagged donations to the red cart next to the Library Circulation Desk. It would be most helpful for the staff if you could use boxes or bags that you can leave at the library with your donations. Do not leave piles of loose books on the cart.
Donations can only be dropped off DURING regular Library business hours and ONLY INSIDE the Library. Do NOT leave donations outside the Library or in drop boxes. Please check the Hours and Closings page or call the Library to verify when the Library is open.
