Frequently
Asked Querstions
Where do I go to donate my books and other items?
Donations should be brought to the Circulation desk. We cannot pick
up donations (though special arrangements may be made for large collections
of high quality books).
I have a
lot of items to donate. Should I just bring them in?
We will accept large
donations. If you are donating 5 or more boxes of books, we would prefer
that arrangements be made in advance with the Circulation desk to make
sure to have space and ability to process them.
How much
can I claim as a charitable donation?
We do not determine the value of the donation. Receipts can be provided
designating how many paperbacks and hardbacks were donated.
What happens to the items I donate?
Depending on the quality and condition of the donated items, they will
be put into our book sale; put in general collection; given away or
recycled.
