Three Ways to Help
Book and Media Donations
We accept gently read fiction, children's picture books, and clean non-fiction. Duplicate copies are added to shelves or placed in the annual book sale.
Volunteer Shelf Hours
Shelving books, helping patrons with printing, reading during toddler story hour, or organizing local history files takes just two hours a week.
Patron Financial Gifts
Every dollar funds building maintenance, utility bills, and new book orders. Because we receive no county tax allocation, direct neighbor donations keep our lights on.
