Donation Guidelines
Do you have books, videos, compact discs, or tapes that you wish to donate? Here are some guidelines to help you when donating:
1. ONLY materials in good to excellent condition can be accepted.
NO soiled, torn, worn, moldy, or damp materials can be accepted.
2. The library reserves the right to decide what to do with your donations.
We may decide to: add them to the library’s collection; put them in the Friends
of the Library Book Sale; or donate them to another library or organization.
3. No magazines can be accepted, principally due to space limitations.
4. NO textbooks, encyclopedia sets, Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, or
videos with the NR-17 or X rating will be accepted.
5. The library can give you a receipt for tax purposes, but cannot put a dollar valuation on your donation.
6. The library may occasionally be unable to accept donations because
of limited storage space. It is always best to call ahead! Please call
503-625-6688
Thank you for your interest in donating to the library and enriching your community resources.
