Donation Guidelines

Thank you for considering donating your gently used items to us!
The Coplay Public Library holds book sales three times a year in October, November, and April as part of the fundraising initiative for our annual budget. It is through the donation of gently used books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, puzzles, and toys from generous people like you that our book sales have been such a success!

Please take a moment to look at the following guidelines for donated materials, including items that we do not accept:

Books and Magazines

We accept books in hardcover or paperback as well as magazines provided the pages aren't yellowing, the spines and covers are in decent condition, and the paper does not carry any foul odors from smoke or pets.
We apologize, but we cannot accept any textbooks, encyclopedias, or National Geographic magazines.

CDs

Since we operate in such a small space, we unfortunately are unable to offer borrowed music to our patrons. Being able to offer music CDs and vinyl records for purchase at discount prices is vitally important in our community. Please make sure that discs and records are not scratched beyond repair.
We apologize, but we cannot accept any cassette tapes.

DVDs

We accept any and all movies on DVD or Blu-Ray disc. Please make sure that all discs are included in any sets and that no disc is scratched beyond repair. We are able to repair small scratches in house provided we are aware of which discs need to be fixed.
We apologize, but we cannot accept any VHS tapes.

Puzzles and Toys

We love puzzles and toys and so do the children in our community! Please ensure that all puzzles contain all of their pieces, and please make sure that toys are disinfected or washed prior to donation. These are what our youngest purchasers gravitate toward, and we want to ensure their health and safety!
