Donate Books to Friends of the East Providence Public Library

GOT BOOKS?

Weaver Library welcomes them! The Friends of the East Providence Public Library are collecting books for their Spring Book Sale, scheduled for April 9 to 12, at Weaver Library. Proceeds from the sale will benefit library programs, including museum passes and special concerts and events.

Hardcover, softcover and pocket-size paperback books in gently used condition are wanted. Books should have bindings intact and be free of writing, highlighting, tears, water stains or mildew. Especially in demand are children’s picture books and non-fiction books on cooking, sports, art, home and garden, and crafts. Music CDs and movie DVDs are also welcome. Oversize and vintage books are needed for our Special Selections section. Vintage encyclopedias published before 1960 and Reader’s Digest condensed books are welcome. However, textbooks, journals and magazines, including National Geographic, cannot be accepted.

Items to donate should be delivered in a bag, box or container during library hours to the circulation desk at Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or Riverside Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside. Books should not be placed in the book drop. Questions? Call the library at 401-434-2453.
