Donate
The Media-Upper Providence Free Library Book Sale is not currently accepting donations but will resume doing so in May. The Fall Book Sale is October 19-21, 2024.
Help us enrich our community by donating your gently used items to our upcoming book sale! Your contributions not only support our mission to promote literacy but also provide fellow book lovers with access to a diverse selection of literary treasures. It’s easy to donate. We accept donations whenever there are bins outside the library, which is typically any time except during the book sale months of April and October.
You Give Us This
We Give You This
Please note that most of our volunteers are retirees. If a box is too heavy for you to lift, it will be too heavy for them. For ease of lifting, consider packing your donations in several small bags or boxes rather than one big box. Thank you for your understanding.
