Donate Books and Media
The Friends welcome donations of gently used books, DVD videos, CDs, and records. These gifts not only replenish our stock of merchandise for sale but also recycle the items to other people for their enjoyment and benefit. Donated books and media are a critical source of revenue for the Friends that enables us to support PVLD. We’ll give you a receipt for tax purposes; you assign a value to your contribution.
We accept:
- Fiction and non-fiction books in good condition (either paperback or hardback)
- Videos (DVD)
- Records
- Books on CD
- CDs
- Sheet music
We do not accept:
- Books that are torn, dirty, or smell of mold or smoke
- Books with excessive writing or underlining
- Readers’ Digest condensed books
- Computer books older than 2010
- Travel books older than 2010
- Encyclopedia sets
- Magazines
