We’re taking a “Donation Vacation”

The Friends are taking a break from accepting book and media donations from August 11th until September 5th. If you’re going through your personal library and thinking about donating books to the Friends, we invite you to check out our Donation Guidelines page. Please hang on to your donations until September. In the meantime, we’ll continue to gratefully accept dollar donations at any time. Thanks for your understanding.
