The Waterford Library is happy to consider donations of gently used books, magazines, and DVDs provided these guidelines are followed. NO Encyclopedias, Textbooks, Readers Digest Condensed Books or materials in poor condition will be accepted. Donated materials will be first considered for inclusion in the collection; and if not appropriate, then offered for sale in the Library book sale. The library reserves the right to discard donated materials that do not meet the above criteria. While the library is a tax exempt organization, we are unable to provide tax receipts for book donations, beyond a statement on our letterhead. The library requests that anyone interested in making a book or DVD material donation contact the library (518-237-0891) in advance, to ensure someone can help with your donation.
Book Sale
The library maintains an ongoing book sale in the vestibule of the library. .50c per book/DVD or fill a bag for $1. There is also a $1 book cart in front of the circulation desk. All books on the cart are $1 each. The condition of these books is “like new.”
Sirius Books Donation Bin
The library has partnered with Sirius Books, an all-volunteer team that collects your donations and distributes them to little free libraries, shelters, senior centers, schools, and other community organizations. The donation bin is located at the back of the library in the parking lot. Books must be in readable condition and free from mold, excessive damage, and torn pages. Sirius books accepts adult and children’s fiction and nonfiction as well as educational materials. If the bin is full, please stop by another time to donate your books. The bin is emptied weekly.
