Where should donations be dropped off?
Brookline Village Library:
- Please bring donations to the designated bins next to the main circulation desk during regular Library hours.
- Due to construction, our loading dock is unavailable.
Coolidge Corner Library and Putterham Library:
- Due to space constraints, only smaller donation quantities (five items or less) may be dropped off at the desk during regular Library hours.
Tax receipts are available at all Library desks during regular Library hours.
Where does your donation go?
Many books are sold in the Friends Book Sale. Other books are picked up by Bay State Books, whose goal is to keep books out of landfills. They supply books for a prison book program and other literacy projects. Unusable books are recycled.
