HOW CAN I DONATE BOOKS?

Book donations are currently accepted at all open Library locations. 

 

NOTE: Smaller libraries may have limited storage capacity. Please call your local Library before making a book donation to ensure the location can receive your items. Do not leave them outside – rain and bugs are not their friends! 

 

The Library does NOT accept the following items:

  1. Newspapers
  2. Magazines
  3. Encyclopedias
  4. VHS tapes
  5. Music CDs
  6. DVDs
  7. Textbooks

     

Have a large donation? Please contact Kim Arlia by phone at (704) 416-0751 or by email at [email protected] to make an appointment.

 

WHAT HAPPENS TO DONATIONS?

All donations are brought via the library delivery system to the Library Administration Center (LAC).  At the LAC, a team of volunteers will go through the donations and determine what will happen to them based on condition, age, and genre.  Some may be added to the existing library collection, others may go to various outreach programs, some make their way to the many Free Little Libraries in Mecklenburg County, while others end up at the library book sale or for sale at Thriftbooks.com.  Revenue generated by book sales and Thinftbooks.com allows for the procurement of more library materials.

 

CAN I VOLUNTEER AT A BOOK SALE OR AT THE LAC?
