HOW TO DONATEWe accept donations Monday – Friday, 10:30 AM – 3 PM. The donation drop off is at the rear door of the Main Library (north-side alley/staff parking area). When you arrive, call the donation number on the phone at the rear door. Please do not leave bags or boxes outside. If you have a large donation it is best to schedule an appointment ahead of time to ensure that a volunteer is available to accept your donation. You may call the number below or email morgan@friendsofthepubliclibrary.org to schedule your appointment. If you can't make your donation during those times or if you have any questions, please give us a call at 505.768.5167. | TAX DEDUCTIONSYour donation is tax deductible. Although we are unable to assign a dollar value to your donation, we are happy to give you a receipt at the time of drop-off. |
