Material Donations

Yes, we do accept gently used donations with a few guidelines.

Please review the guidelines before bringing materials to the library that we may not accept. A maximum of two boxes or bags per day will be accepted.

Items dropped off at the library are automatically considered donations and therefore become the property of the library.

WBRL assesses donations for addition to the collection with the same criteria used to select purchased materials. Not all donations are suitable for the collection. Unwanted donations may be sold, donated to another organization, or recycled/disposed of. (As per the WBRL Collection Management Policy)
