Materials Donations

All of our libraries accept donations of used books, movies, puzzles and more in good condition. All donations are reviewed by library staff to see if they will be added to the collection.  Most donated items are sold in our Friends of the Library Bookstores, providing much appreciated funds for the library.  Please call your closest FRL location or FRL Friends Bookstore if possible for location-specific material donation policies.
