Book Donations for Book Sale

Donated books are sold at the book sale

The books that are donated by the public are sold at the book sale to raise money for the library. We can only accept donations of books that are in resale condition. Books that are stored in basements and garages absorb moisture and become yellow and mildewed and cannot be resold. We thank you for donating books that are in resale condition. 

How to donate

Just bring your books to the library and put them in the donation bin, which is against the wall in the hallway to the Pearl S. Buck Room.

Please donate

Good condition fiction and non-fiction books for adults and children, the newer the better. We also accept audio books on CD.

Please do not donate

  • Anything at all that is not a book: flash cards, games, puzzles, maps, sheet music, old calendars, journals
  • Books in poor condition: torn, yellowed, mildewed, annotated, very old books, used coloring books
  • DVDs, CDs, VHS and music cassettes, video games
  • Directories (phone books. etc.)
