Donation Guidelines
The Friends of Handley Regional Library System holds a Donation Drop Off every other month in the Bowman Library Parking Lot. We accept your gently used books (in good, clean condition), DVDs, music CDs, audiobooks on CD and electronic games.
We wish we could accept every book that is donated but we simply don't have the space! Many books we receive cannot be sold and it takes time and energy to deal with these donations. The Friends of HRLS is run on volunteer power, so please go through your donations before bringing them to us and discard items from the list below.
We will NOT accept:
- Books that have mold, mildew, pet stains, smoke damage, insect or rodent damage (These can contaminate other books and present health hazards)
- Computer science, medicine & technology books more than five years old
- Textbooks
- Books that have been written in or on
- Books that have broken spines, missing pages, missing dust jacket or covers
- Magazines and Catalogues
- Yearbooks
- Textbooks
- Dictionaries
- VHS Tapes, Cassette Tapes, or Records
Proceeds from the FHRLS Used Book Sales benefit all library locations.
Upcoming Donation Drop Offs in 2025 are January 11, February 8, March 29 and May 10.
