Q. Does the library accept book donations?

Due to the closure and relocation of the Main Library (Project Grace), the Main Branch is not currently accepting donations. Donors are encouraged to visit the following locations instead:

• Pine Valley Branch
• Pleasure Island Branch
• Northeast Branch  * Donors are encouraged to bring items to this location after February 2nd due to our semi-annual book sale.

 If you have 5 or more boxes of donations, please call and make an appointment to drop these items off at our Northeast Library. Large donations are accepted Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Drive around to back of building to blue door to make large donation.
