Guidelines for Book Donations:
We are pleased to accept donations of books and other materials.
We carefully sort through all donation and choose items to be added to our collection. When choosing these items, we consider the age, condition and subject of the item, as well as the current content in the relevant part of the library collection. All materials not added to the library collection go into the next book sale.
If you would like to donate an item only if it will be added to the collection, please speak with Director Jeff Donlan first.
Please note : we no longer accept Reader's Digest Condensed Books or new magazines. If you have magazines older than 1980, please speak with Becky. We also ask that you do not donate books that are musty, moldy, dirty, broken or missing portions.
If you need assistance bringing the books in from the curb, please ask at the desk. We do not offer a pick-up service.
Book sales:
The library hosts a book sale about every six months, with the timing dependent on the volume of books donated to us. The date is set about four weeks prior to the sale and is publicized in the newspaper and with flyers posted around town.Book sales occur on a single day, usually a Saturday, and encompass the hours the library is open. Admission is free and anyone may attend. We do not have an early bird program for our book sales.
The vast majority of material in the book sales comes from donations to the library. Other items may include damaged or discarded items from the library collection. Typically, the price structure for the opening hours of a book sale is as follows:
Hardback books $ 1.00 Oversize paperbacks 0.50 Mass market paperbacks 0.25 Audio & video $ 1.00 6 Mass market paperbacks 1.00 Marked sets of books As marked Antique / special books
