General Book Donations

You can support Pequot Library by donating your gently used books, music media, comic books, and other book materials. To make a donation, simply drop off your items at the grey shed with cupboards located on the left side of the Library’s driveway, just past the cottage on the corner. Books can be dropped off any day of the week from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm. Request a tax donation receipt online or pick one up at the Circulation Desk during library hours when the Library is open.

Each and every one of the hundreds of thousands of books and media items at our book sales has been donated to the Library. Donors come from all over, and it is through the wonderful generosity of these donors that the sales have grown to what they are today. Thank you.

We do accept:
Books (hardcover & paperback), DVDs, CDs, LPs, Audiobooks

We do not accept:
VHS, Cassette tapes, encyclopedias, magazines, textbooks over 5 years old

All Book Sale proceeds support Pequot Library’s programs and services. For more information, call the Circulation Desk at (203) 259-0346 ext. 115 or email us at the link below.
