HOW TO DONATE

to Venice Beach Library Friends in California

MATERIALS DONATION POLICY​

Printable Donation Guidelines
Please DO NOT place items in book return bins or leave them outside library doors. ​DO Make an appointment by emailing: [email protected] 
NOTE: All donations must be in excellent shape to either go in the library's collection or be sold at our Friends' Book Sales. A good rule of thumb is:
If YOU would want to buy it in the condition that it's in, then we would want it.
