The Forsyth County Public Library welcomes the donation of money to purchase new items for the collection or the donation of items such as books, DVDs, music CDs, and multimedia CD-ROM products in good condition.

All materials presented to the Library as gifts are subject to the same selection criteria as purchased items, as outlined in the Materials Management Policy. The Library retains unconditional ownership and makes the final decision on acceptance, use, and disposition.

Any item that is not added may be donated to another institution, sold at the Forsyth County Public Library Friends & Advocates book sale, or otherwise disposed of. All monies collected at book sales benefit the Library.

Due to the high volume of donations received, the library is unable to notify donors as to the specific disposition of their materials, or to return materials that are not selected for inclusion into the collection.

Due to space limitations only three boxes of materials per visit may be brought to the Library. However, larger donations are very much welcomed and appreciated. The FCPL Friends & Advocates are happy to pick up donations from your home. To schedule a pick-up, please visit their website. Please note that neither the Library nor the Friends & Advocates can accept books in poor physical condition (damaged, soiled, mildewed).
