Please Read The Following Information Before Donating Your Books:

  •  Bring your items to the loading dock behind the Central Library during Used Books normal working hours, 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.   
  • After hour donations can be placed in the yellow bins on the loading dock. 
  • Books can also be dropped off in the grey bin located inside the Library during regular business hours. 
  • Donation receipts are available at each of the drop-off locations. 
  • Patrons needing assistance with unloading donations should come during normal working hours, 8:00 A.M. to 10:30 P.M. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 
  • Book donations are also accepted at all library branches. 
  • The FOTL accepts donations of books, media (CDs, DVDs, records), magazines, art, and collectibles. We do not accept cassettes or VHS tapes.  
  • Sorry, we do not pick up donations.  
  • Even donations which cannot be sold in the Used Books Store are useful.  Some appropriate books, paperbacks and magazines are donated to local schools.  Others that are out-of-date are given to the local Assistance League, the Orange County Jail or other charitable organizations. 
  • Donations that do not meet our criteria are recycled through a jobber. The FOTL receives compensation for these books based on weight. 
  • All revenue is donated by the FOTL to the Library.
