What does the library do with donations?

Some of the donated books are added to the library’s collection. Best sellers and books by popular authors are added to the collection so the library may offer customers more copies. Others replace worn or damaged books. Books that are on the Washington Twp. Public Schools summer reading lists are also put into the library’s collection.

The library also passes books along to other non-profit organizations. Some books go to prisons or hospitals, and others are given to Mother’s Cupboard and Robin’s Nest.

Most of the books that are donated to the library are sold through book sales by the Friends of the Library.
