Donate Gently Used Items for Book Sale
Do you have books or movies to donate? The library accepts donations of recent books, recorded books on CD, music CDs and DVDs.
Donations should be clean and in good condition. A rule of thumb is; donate it to the library if you would give it to a friend. Also, please do not bring more items than you can carry into the library.
Here’s more information on donating materials.
