Donations

The Friends is happy to receive your donations of used books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and games at our Warehouse in Hartwell on Wednesdays between 10a and 2p.

Designated donations hours are Wednesdays from 10a – 2p at the garage door on the Hillsdale side of our building. This time frame is best if you have a larger donation (several large boxes/bins) or need assistance carrying donations. For donations that are on a larger scale (eight boxes or more) please call or email to make an appointment- info@cincylibraryfriends.org.

You can also donate during our shopping hours by bringing donations in through the front door. We can not guarantee assistance during general shopping hours, but, if you can carry them yourself, feel free to bring a couple of bags or boxes to drop off with you on your trip to shop at the Warehouse.

The Friends is not able to pick up any donations.

We do not accept donations of cassette tapes or VHS tapes.

Donations of a few books are welcome at any Library branch. There is a bin near checkout for donations waiting to be brought to the Friends.

Your donations are tax deductible and we can provide a receipt for your donation.

Donating to the Friends ensures your books find their way into the hands of those who both need and want them while providing support for the Cincinnati Library system. We thank you for thinking of us and supporting literacy in our community.
