Collecting Book Donations
September 6, 2025 - September 18, 2025

The Annual Library Book Sale is coming up on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 9am – 12pm (weather permitting).
We will be collecting book donations for the sale from Saturday, Sept. 6 – Thursday, Sept. 18.
A portion of any unsold kids books will be donated to the Bright Horizons book drive to benefit the Greater Seacoast Community Health / Families First nonprofit.
Guidelines for Donating
We can accept:
- Clean and gently used books
- Nonfiction published within the last 10 years (i.e., is the info still valid and relevant?)
- Popular fiction and bestsellers are especially welcome
- Any age range (Adult, Teen, Middle Grade, Picture Books, etc.)
Rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t give it to a friend, please consider recycling it instead.
We cannot accept donations that are:
- Dirty, moldy, stained, or damaged
- Books with missing or torn pages/covers
- Textbooks
- Old nonfiction that is outdated/no longer accurate/relevant
- Books with strong odors (e.g., smoke, mildew, etc.)
Thank you for supporting your public library!
