The Friends welcome your gently used donations but do not accept the following:  encyclopedias of any kind; magazines; Reader’s Digest Condensed Books; damaged, mouldy or yellowing books; childrens books that are torn, written in or dirty, or directories, almanacs, travel, computer or medical books more than 2 years old.

We receive many donations over the year and thank each and every one of you who donate your gently read books which enable the Friends to raise much needed funds for the library.  Please visit the Friends Corner Book Sale which is open year-round in the library and purchase someone else's "gently read books."
