Where to Donate

All library locations accept small donations (the size of a paper grocery bag). For large donations (several boxes of materials) please go to the Headquarters Library at 300 Maiden Lane, to the back parking lot off Ray Avenue. Ring the doorbell next to the garage door for assistance. They accept donations Monday-Friday 9:30 to 3:30.
