Friends of the
Siuslaw Public Library
“Give me your tired, your used, your well read books,
yearning to be shared! The gently used of your teeming bookshelves. Donate
these, the mold-less, bug-free, complete books to me. I will take your
donations inside the Library doors.” (with apologies to Emma Lazarus)
The Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library welcome your book
donations on a year round basis. While
in the past we solicited books just before our annual sale, now we actively
seek book donations all year long and as soon as we have enough boxes of
wonderful, eclectic, educational, fascinating, profound and purely entertaining
books—we schedule another of our popular Bromley Room Book Sales. The more you donate, the sooner we’ll have
another sale!
So, please, if you have extra
books piling up on your shelves (or the nightstand, or the floor…), bring them
to the Library anytime. Donations may be
left at the circulation desk whenever the Library is open. If you have larger donations and would like
assistance, please contact us ahead of time and we can arrange to have a Friend
on hand to help transport the books. You
may call the Library at 541-997-3132,
or email the Friends at SiuslawLibraryFriends@gmail.com. Donation receipts are available on request. The
Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization.
While the Friends welcome all
donations and we excel at finding good homes for most materials we receive, we
have found it’s difficult for us to successfully sell textbooks, encyclopedia
sets, and outdated periodicals. What we
can always use more of, however, are Large Print books, Audio books, Cookbooks,
Children’s books, How-to books, Crafts & Hobbies, Sports, Biographies,
Current Magazines, and the ever popular fiction—Mystery, Suspense, Horror,
Science Fiction, Western, etcetera.
Book sales are one of the Friends’ primary fundraisers. All proceeds go to support both branches of
the Siuslaw Public Library and their programs. The Friends thank the members of
the greater Florence
community for their ongoing donations and support. Please email SiuslawLibraryFriends@gmail.com
with any questions.
