Are you taking donations of books for the Fall Book Sale?
Jennifer,
We are currently taking donations. Please bring large donations to Central Library where there are carts by the first floor entrance doors.
You can learn more on the Friends of the Arlington Public Library website: https://arlingtonlibraryfriends.org/support-foal/donate-books-materials/
May I get help unloading my boxes of book and cd donations ? When is the best time for me to bring the donation this week ? Thanks, Geraldine
Hi Geraldine,
Visit Central Library during the hours when the mail room and the book donation room are staffed (usually Monday-Saturday, 10-5). If you pull up to the loading dock, off the 10th Street parking lot, and ring the bell at the door there, someone should be available to help you.
Thank you
Do you accept credit card payment or is it cash only?
Hi Ineke,
Cash, check and credit card payments are all happily accepted.
