BookShop Donation Guidelines
Updated 11-4-08
We appreciate donations. Everything we sell in the BookShop (except a few gift items, (like t-shirts, mugs and book bags) is donated to us and all proceeds benefit The Library. Thank you for thinking of us when you have materials to donate.
Please follow these Guidelines when making donations:
- Give us clean materials, with no rips, tears, loose or missing pages.
- No encyclopedias or textbooks printed prior to 1995,
- No computer materials sold before 2004,
- No paperback books with very yellow and /or brittle pages.
- Nothing that is, or has been, wet or moldy.
- We do not accept large donations of records or National Geographic magazines – one bag or box of either of these is okay.
- Donations need to fit into our large wooden donation bin across from the Circulation Desk. That means, as a general rule. no more than 2 boxes per donation. If you have a large donation please contact Tacy or Lynda in the Friends’ Office at 279-6604 prior to bringing materials to the Library. Please do not put donations on the floor next to the Donation Bin.
- Our customers like current magazines – nothing more than 5 years old please. News, gossip and business magazines should not be more than one year old.
- No large donations of VHS tapes ( there is a 2 box limit)
- No “home-made” audio-visual materials (tapes, cassettes, CDs, etc.)
We gladly accept books, magazines, games, puzzles, any audio-visual materials (books-on-tape, videos, DVDs, CDs, learning materials, etc.), sets of books, old collectible materials, empty jewel cases, coffee table books, and unique/unusual items for our Silent Auction. Just about anything that someone would read, listen to, play, put together, or treasure.
Again, thanks for following our Donation Guidelines.
