Financial Donations
Your tax deductible contribution to Friends of PDL directly supports library programs, staff training, author talks, and more.
Book Donations
The Friends welcome your donations of books and other media for our ongoing used book sale (proceeds support the Library.) We gratefully request that you consider whether items are desirable and re-sellable when choosing whether to donate them.
Please note items that we CANNOT ACCEPT:
- magazines
- encyclopedias or textbooks
- VHS tapes
- especially books that are musty or smoky (!)
As fellow book lovers, we understand that it is very difficult to deem any book as “trash”. However, when unsellable books are donated, it creates heavy load (both literally and figuratively) for our hard-working volunteers. To be truly helpful to the cause, your critical review of the books to be donated before bringing them is much appreciated. A look at what is for sale on the shelves (in the lobby near the meeting rooms) will give you a good idea of what kinds of materials are desirable.
