Materials Donation Guidelines

All donations become the exclusive property of the Fairfield County District Library.

When you donate materials to the Fairfield County District Library, they are first considered for addition to the Library’s collection. If they are not added the materials are given to the Friends of the Library for sale. The money the Friends earn from sales is used to benefit the library.

If you would like a receipt, please ask for one. The number and type of items donated will be noted on the receipt HOWEVER neither library staff nor Friends can place a value on the donation. You or the person preparing your tax return will be responsible for determining the Fair Market Value of the materials donated.

We can accept:	fiction and nonfiction books hardbacks and paperbacks any materials regarding the history of Lancaster and Fairfield County including yearbooks and family history compilations gently used DVDs, audio books on CD, music CDs and video games
We do NOT accept:	textbooks Reader's Digest Condensed Books encyclopedias over 10 years old magazines Video or audio cassettes Vinyl records comic books

We do NOT accept materials which are soiled, damp, moldy or mildewed. No receipt will be given for materials in such condition. All donations must be delivered in boxes or bags and containers will not be returned. Donations can be delivered to one of our library locations. Unless prior arrangements are made, the Library does not provide staff to unload donations for you.

If you have any questions, please call 653-2745, extension #180, before you bring your donations to the library.
