Donate Your Books & Media

Donations of books and audio-visual materials are always welcome. Most needed are hardcovers and paperbacks in good condition, magazines in very specialized areas, books about Michigan, and records, tapes, DVDs, and CDs. Please do not donate books that are musty, dirty, or torn, or magazines or textbooks older than 2005. Please leave donations on the cart next to the Circulation Desk on the main floor or on the yellow wagon at the Troy Street (staff) entrance. Staff will be glad to give you a receipt for tax purposes.

Donate Your Money

Donations are used to supplement taxpayer support, funding library resources, programs, and furnishings, and circulating and online materials that benefit our community.
