Material Donations Guidelines

Used/New Book Donation Guidelines

We Accept:

  • Materials that are in very good or excellent condition. We will be selling these in our book room or adding them to our collection. Please keep this in mind when donating.
  • Items in bags or boxes

We Cannot Accept:

  • Books that are stained, have broken bindings, yellowed pages, bad odor, water damage, etc.
  • VHS tapes, encyclopedia sets, dictionaries, Reader’s Digest condensed books, or magazines older than 2 years
  • CDs
  • Items that have been in long-term storage
  • Note: We do have Abitibi bins in our parking lot — you may put your damaged books in these bins (no plastic, please).

Donation receipts are available upon request.

The Salem-South Lyon District Library appreciates and encourages donations of books and other materials that are useful and in good condition. All donated materials immediately become the property of the library, which reserves the right to add, sell, or discard any items.
