F.L.O.W. Accepting Book Donations Starting November 1st

F.L.O.W. will begin accepting book donations starting Nov. 1st. Donations can be brought to the Nesmith Library during business hours.

The Friends of the Library of Windham (F.L.O.W.) will begin accepting donations of books and other items starting on Tuesday, November 1st. As in the past, we welcome donations of new and gently-used books, books on CD, music CDs, DVD movies and computer software and games. We also accept donations of board games and puzzles. Donated items will be sorted and available for purchase at our annual Book Fairs. Donations can be dropped off at the Nesmith Library during regular business hours.

Unfortunately, we do not sell and cannot accept Reader's Digest, condensed books, text books, encyclopedias, magazines, music/audio tapes or VHS tapes. Many volunteer hours are spent sorting and categorizing the donations. Therefore, we ask that you help us by ensuring that your items are of good quality, complete and saleable. Since we also do not sell any damaged books, please sort out books that are musty, have broken spines, missing pages or pages that have yellowed with age. Your help will make the process easier and will also provide the public with great choices at our sales!

We thank you for your support! It is thanks to the public’s generosity that the Friends are able to have successful book sales year after year. Money raised through these sales benefit the Nesmith Library and help fund many programs for our community. Volunteer opportunities for book sorting are available. If you have any questions or would like to become involved with the book sale process, please contact books@flowwindham.org.
