The Library accepts donations of books, DVDs, VHS, CDs, audiobooks, records and magazines. These items are added to the collection as needed or processed by the Friends of the Library for sale at the Whitney Book Corner or at the semi-annual book sales. Profits from these sales help support collection development, library programming and staff development.

Books with torn or yellowed pages or water damaged
Books that are dirty or have an accumulation of dust or cobwebs
Musty material smelling of mildew-try the sniff test!
Magazines
Reader's Digest Condensed Books
Textbooks older than five years
Encyclopedias older than ten years
Computer books older than three years
Computer software or software manuals three years or older

Please leave all donations on the loading dock in the library parking lot.
