At Your Library Book Sales & Donations

Book Sales & Donations

The County of Prince Edward Public Library gratefully accepts donations of used and new books. New, bestsellers are often added to our collection, while other titles are put in our book stores to allow us to buy more new books.

The County of Prince Edward Public Library policy on gifts and donations is as follows:

Gifts and donations

Donations of books or other materials may be accepted by the Branch Librarian if they are suitable to the needs of the Library and on the condition that the Branch Librarian may make whatever disposition of the materials he or she deems advisable.
The same criteria for selection should be applied to gifts as is applied to all other materials considered for inclusion in the collection.
The Library will not accept materials which are not outright gifts.
Gifts of materials may be accepted only on the understanding that the unconditional ownership of the gifts is retained by the Library, and that, if it cannot use them, the gifts may be discarded. The donor is not necessarily informed of such disposition. Donors may be asked to sign a standard declaration to this effect.
