Guidelines for Book Donations

All donations must be in good shape – no mold or mildew or odors.

Donations must be brought into the Library during open hours and not left outside in the elements. Follow the red arrows on the floor to the designated donation drop-off area.

Pick-up may be arranged in special cases by contacting Joan Laspia at 203-438-8766.

A receipt for tax purposes will gladly be provided at the Circulation Desk if donor can supply the number of items of each type (e.g. X paperbacks; Y hardcover books; Z children’s books). Value of donations is determined by the donor in consultation with their tax advisor.

The Friends reserve the right to limit or refuse donations temporarily when storage space is full and/or immediately prior to sale dates when time is needed to prepare. However, the Friends are always willing to discuss alternate arrangements if timing of a donation is an issue The Friends are happy to accept all books in good condition (except as listed below), including textbooks, computer books and series or sets like Time-Life.  Also accepted are audiobooks, DVDs and LPs.
