What does the library do with donations?

All donations are greatly appreciated. The library reviews donated items then adds them to the collection or sells them in Our Shop.  The money raised by Our Shop sales is then used to purchase other library materials.
 

Bringing donations to the library

Patrons wishing to donate items may drop items in the donation bin inside the library and get a tax receipt at the Customer Service Desk.

If patron has too much donation material to fit in the donation bin, they may ask for assistance at the Customer Service Desk.  The library can lend the patron a cart to help bring the materials inside or get staff to assist in transporting the materials.
