Why should you donate to the Book Nook?

The reasons are two-fold. First, the proceeds from the Book Nook benefit the library which in turn benefits you, so really, you’re just doing yourself a favor. And second, your donation is tax-deductible. How convenient! Saving money without spending money!

Simply bring all your donations to the library’s 1st floor Cards and Accounts Desk or drop your donations in our drive thru book drop behind the library.
