Donations

The Library cannot accept book donations between September 3rd & December 31, 2023.

Our storage room needs to remain empty after the Peach Days book sale to facilitate an elevator replacement project. If you have individual items you would like to donate for consideration in the collection, please contact the library directly during this time.

The Library accepts books and media, as well as monetary donations.

To make a monetary donation, contact the front desk. We accept cash, cards, and checks.

To make an item donation, bring items (e.g. books, movies, etc.) to the front desk during regular business hours. If you are making a large donation of 4 or more boxes, please call ahead to give us notice. The front desk provides proof-of-donation receipts upon request.

Donated physical materials are evaluated by librarians for use in the collection. Items not added to the Library's collection are sold at community book sales. These sales help fund special library projects, programs, and equipment (e.g. renovations, new furniture, special events, etc.)

If you wish to donate irregular items, equipment, or funding for a specific purpose, please contact the library director. You can find additional donation information on our Policies page.

BOOK SALE
When is the book sale?
The beginning of September.
The library's large, annual used book sale is after Labor Day. The sale ends on Peach Days. Exact dates and times will be posted on the events calendar.

A small selection of used books is available year-round on the sale shelf in the library (main level, next to the stairs).
Click here for calendar.
What's for sale?
Books, audio, & visual.
The exact items vary from year to year. We do not keep a list.

Magazines are usually sold in their own separate sale in December or January.
Where do the books come from?
Donations & discarded library materials.
The library keeps its collections healthy by discarding books that are in poor condition or that no longer check out. We also sell items that were donated to us, but that we can't use (e.g. we already had a copy, didn't have room, etc.)
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, card, & check.
(No American Express or Venmo)
When are your magazines on sale?
December or January.
To make room for next year's issues, old magazines go on sale separately from the big September Peach Days book sale. The magazine sale is usually late December or January. Exact dates vary depending on when the new year's issues begin arriving.
What happens to the leftover books?
They are resold or recycled.
After being offered at the Library's public sale, unwanted books are collected by a used book seller to be resold or recycled.
