Book Donations
The Friends of the Library greatly appreciate and depend on your donations to resell in our Friends’ bookstores and booksales. Your donations are converted into financial support for PPLD programs and projects. As our library district continues to expand, our individual libraries must find new and innovative ways to serve the community while dealing with the challenges of space constraints and increased patronage.
Please read our Book Donation Policy below for more information.
