Special Projects
Over the years, the Friends organization has supported special needs of the library. The Friends support Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), an early readers program conducted by Children's staff in local schools. In recent years, the Friends purchased furnishings for the renovated Children's Department, and continue to support special programs such as visits by children's authors. Other support comes from the Friends to increase the number of new best sellers and also purchase a collection of hardbound classics for the Library.
Donations of Materials
The library accepts donations of used books and other materials, but reserves the right to evaluate all gifts in accordance with the criteria applied to library materials purchased or weeded from the collection.
Items not needed for the library's collection are passed along to the Friends for their Book Sale. Any donated materials may be left in the Used Book Drop next to the elevator on the First Floor of the Main Library. Please call 237-4935 if you have questions about donations to the library.
