In-Kind Gifts

Donate Your Books

Bring your book donations to your local library. (Please call ahead for large donations to insure there is storage space).

Douglas County Library Foundation accepts the following donations:

• books (in good shape: no stains, excessive fading/yellowing, or other damage) EXCLUDING textbooks, condensed books, and computer books older than 5 years
• encyclopedias and other sets that were published in the last 5 years
• recorded books (tapes and cd)
• videos and dvds
• music cds & tapes

All donations become the property of the Library Foundation, to use as it deems appropriate. Your book donations will most likely help support book sales at local library branches, and in very rare cases, (special editions, historical documents) will be added to our collection. The proceeds of Book Sales support Foundation activities such as special events, library specific projects and special items requested by the Book Sale Volunteers and approved by Branch Library Managers.

Donate Your Memories
