Donate Used books, movies, music & eReaders

·Donate your  gently used books, music, and movies. We often add into our collection items that you donate. If we do not add them into the collection we sell them at the used book sale to benefit the library. Ask for a donation receipt when you drop off donations so you can itemize on your taxes. We are unable to accept donations of magazines, textbooks, reader’s digest condensed books, and encyclopedia sets.
