The Friends of the Library Organization is not currently accepting book donations.

When the construction is complete, donation will resume! See below for more information about the policy.

Book Donation Policy:

The librarians will determine if they can be used for the library collection; otherwise, they will be included in the next book sale. 
There are some items we simply cannot accept as donations. These items include:

• Moldy books or those that have been kept in storage and mildewed
• Outdated (2 years old or older) encyclopedias or textbooks
• Non-fiction books that are 5 years old or older
• Reader's Digest condensed books
• VHS tapes
• Audio cassette tapes

There is now a large blue donation bin outside of the lower level of the main building. 

If you would like to donate books at our Limberlost Branch, please consider bringing the items to Kendallville. If you are unable, please see the main customer service desk to find out where to leave your items.

Thank you for donating to the Kendallville Public Library!
