Donations

The library welcomes donations of new and used books. Clean and gently read books are appreciated. Textbooks, Reader's Digest Condensed Books and sets of encyclopedias are not accepted as donations.

Memorials may be given in honor of a loved one. Each library has a form for you to fill out when you donate money for the library to purchase a book in someone's honor or memory. The library will place a book plate in the book, acknowledging the individual. Letters are sent to both the donor and to the person, or the family of the person, in whose name the book was given.
