You have many options for supporting the library. If you like and value what we do, consider a contribution of time or money.
Materials Donations
The library welcomes donations of gently used books and other select materials to be sold at our Friends of the Library Book sales. Please review our donation form for donating used items before bringing materials in. We cannot accept materials that are moldy, damaged, dirty, or in a condition that would present a health risk to staff and volunteers. Such materials should be disposed of. There are no local options for recycling such materials.
If you are a local author/creator who would like to donate a copy of your work to our Creators Corner collection, please review our guidelines for contributing your work.
