Emily’s Friends holds a book sale event on the lawn of the library twice each year in May and in October.  In the months leading up to each sale, Emily’s Friends will take donations of books, DVDs and CDs.  These donations can be brought to the Library.  At other times of the year the library will receive donations of material as space allows.  Our guidelines for donations of material is:

  1. We will accept donations of material during library hours.  Please do not leave donations outside the library when the library is closed.
  2. If you want to donate a large amount of material, we’d appreciate a phone call ahead of time so we can prepare space to receive it.
  3. We will accept donations of gently used books, CDs and DVDs.

We will not accept donations of the following material:

  1. Textbooks or encyclopedias.
  2. Cassette tapes, LP records, puzzles, games or toys.
  3. Musty, moldy or damp items.  Items in this condition are not safe for the library or for your home.  Just throw them away!

Often we are unable to accommodate donations because space at the library is very limited.  When this is the case, we encourage donors to consider donating their material to:

Northampton Recycling Center – 125 Locust St, Northampton, MA

Valley Recycling Center
234 Easthampton Rd. in Northampton, 413-587-4279. Please check their website for up-to-date hours.

Bins for Roundabout Books are inside the entrance on the right. Roundabout Books accepts any and all books for donation. They do NOT accept CDs, and DVDs.
