Book Donations
The Haverford Township Free Library is happy to accept the donation of hardback and paperback fiction and non-fiction books for adults, young adults, teens and children as well as classic books and cookbooks.
Books must be newer and gently-used to add to our collection. Donated books that the Library cannot add to its collection will be donated when possible.
There is a maximum of 2 donated bags per day. Books in garbage bags will not be accepted. Additionally, we cannot accept:
– books with water damage or worn pages (yellowed pages, broken bindings, etc)
– textbooks, encyclopedias or test prep books
Books for donation left outside the Library at any entrance or placed in the book drops will be disposed of. You may ring the bell at the side parking lot entrance and staff can let you in, but staff are not available to help you unload books and bring to the Circulation Desk.
Please note that books will be reviewed by a staff member before accepting and we ask that you stay at the desk to remove any books that cannot be donated.
