About
Book Donations
to the
Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library are grateful to the
community for its continuing support of our book sales.
Donations of good quality, used books are always welcome.
Bring the books to the Meeting Room at the rear of the Morgan
Hill Library on days when Book Sales are in progress, or leave
them with library personnel at the front desk at other times.
These books are sold by the Friends and the proceeds benefit
the Library in many ways.
Nobody wants to
see good books go to waste, but many of the donations we receive
are of such poor quality that they cannot be sold and have
to be discarded by our volunteers. We ask for your cooperation.
Please do
not donate the following:
- Outdated textbooks
and encyclopædias (older than ten years)
- Computer books
older than five years
- Reader's Digest
books
- Torn, damaged
or water-spotted books
- Moldy, dirty,
insect-ridden or mouse-nibbled books
- Magazines,
games, puzzles
Remember, if you
wouldn't give it to a friend, please don't give it
to the Friends of the Morgan Hill Library.
Receipts for your
tax deductible book donations may be requested at the library
checkout desk.
Books that cannot
be used by the Friends can be recycled. Paperback books
may be recycled at home with mixed paper. Take hardcover
books to:
