Donating Books to the Library

Please call the library (201-358-5072) before bringing books to donate. Because we have limited shelf space, it is important that we discuss donations.

Books should be in good shape (gently used and free of stains and mold), and in general, the copyright should be within the past three years.

Of note, the library does NOT accept the following:

  • Reader’s Digest condensed books
  • National Geographic collections
  • Encyclopedia sets
  • College textbooks

Please note that donated books that are accepted may be added to our collection or to our Used Books for sale.
