Donating Books During a Pandemic

Whether you’re finally getting through your TBR pile or you’ve gone on the ultimate COVID cleaning spree, you may have found yourself wondering what to do with extra books while in the midst of a pandemic.
And while you used to be able to simply drop a bag of old children’s books, mysteries or bestsellers off at the library for the Friends and Foundation Book Sales, now you’ve got to be a little more creative.

While our libraries are focused on safely getting our physical materials in the hands of customers, we’ve temporarily taken a step back from accepting community donations on behalf of the Richland Library Friends and Foundation.

But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some really great community organizations out there that have the capacity to safely process your book donations right now. So, please continue to #GiveFreely.
