Got books? Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library welcome book donations

While in the past the Friends solicited books just before our book sales, we now welcome donations all year long to be sold in the book store inside the library, and at our popular Bromley Room sales.

Donated books must be clean and in resellable condition – no moldy, buggy, smelly, or damaged books can be accepted. “If you wouldn’t be willing to buy it, no one else will either,” said Annie Schmidt, Friends president, “Please, only items in good shape!”

Small donations may be left near the circulation desk whenever the Library is open. For larger donations, please contact us and we can arrange to have a Friend on hand to help receive the books. You may email us at SiuslawLibraryFriends@gmail.com or call the Library at 541-997-3132 to leave a message for the Friends. As volunteers are available, we try to have the Friends Room at the Library open to receive larger donations on Mondays and Tuesdays from noon to 2 p.m..

Wondering what books we can most use? Hardback and Paperback Fiction and Nonfiction of all types, kids’ books, recent Magazines, and DVDs are always welcome. We cannot generally re-sell: textbooks, encyclopedia sets, or Readers Digest books.

All proceeds go to support the Siuslaw Public Library and its programs – thank you! The Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Visit https://www.siuslawlibrary.info/friends for details.
