The Friends of the Portland Library Need Your Books!

The Friends of the Portland Library’s “Read & Recycle” program will collect donations of gently used books, puzzles, CDs, DVDs and games on Saturday, September 27 from 10 am to Noon in the Mary Flood Room of the Portland Library.

The Friends especially need newer hardcover and paperback fiction books in preparation for our annual Fall Book Sale, which will be held on October 25 and 26 at the Portland Library. Donations of children’s books (all ages) are also very much needed.

All donated items must be in “sellable” condition. FPL cannot accept items that are dirty, moldy or in poor condition. No textbooks, business books, computer books, self-help books or magazines, please.

Donors may enter through the Library’s side door, and volunteers will be available to help carry donations. Donations are tax-deductible and acknowledgement forms will be available.

Donated items are sold at various Friends’ book sales throughout the year. All proceeds are used to support programs of the Portland Library, including the Library’s DVD collection, Museum Pass Program, and a wide variety of children’s, family and adult programs held throughout the year.
