Donate Books
The Friends appreciate your donations of new and gently used items for sale during our book sales and to fill the shelves in our three book stores. Donations of two small bags, or less than 20 items, can be delivered to the circulation desk in any library location at the circulation desk. Please pack your donations in small to medium boxes or sturdy bags; most of our volunteers are senior citizens and cannot lift heavy boxes. Please let the library technicians know your donation is for the Friends.
Larger donations should be delivered on Thursdays, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., (accept on holidays) to our Friends of West Florida Public Library, Inc. warehouse located on 325 Commerce Street. When you arrive at the warehouse, please ring the doorbell so that someone can accept the donations at the front door. For small donations, the warehouse now has a metal Drop Box available for the rest of the week. If you need a receipt for tax purposes, we will provide one. We cannot, however, assign a dollar value to your donation.
If you have any questions about book donations, please contact Linda Williams at 850-450-2469 or email friendsofWFPL@gmail.com.
