Ways to Donate
Libraries are the cornerstones in every community. They educate us. They connect us with one another. They help change lives. Your donations to the Friends of the Danville Library help fund adult and children’s programs, numerous Library events, as well as the purchase of new books and materials benefiting all patrons.
Book Donations
The Friends of the Danville Library accepts donations of new and gently used books. If you have fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, self-help, kids, young adult, or vintage books that are just languishing on your shelves, bring them by the bookstore Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We'll sell them in our bookstore and at our monthly book sales. (Your donation may be tax deductible.)
We do not accept:
CDs or DVDs
Encyclopedias
Magazines
Business, computer or health books older than 2020
