Donate

GPPL is always grateful to receive financial donations. There are multiple ways to support us:

In person: Our Customer Services desk will be happy to accept your donation. Leave us your full name and address and we will mail you a tax-deductible receipt for any donation for $10.00 or more.

Your donation will help support the growth of a number of library initiatives, including collection expansion, program offerings, and other services and resources. If you’re interested in supporting something specific, please let us know with your donation!

Books and other materials

We are pleased to accept gently used books and other materials. Donations are either added to our collection or made available to the public on our ongoing "Books for Sale" shelf.

How to donate

Smaller donations may be dropped off at the Customer Services desk in the Library. To discuss larger donations, please contact Technical Services at (780) 357-7460.

We accept:

Recently published fiction and non-fiction
Paperbacks and hardcovers

Donated items are added to the collection if they meet the criteria listed above, meet the standards of GPPL's Collection Management Policy, do not result in unwanted duplication and are in formats that fit our collection. Due to the subjective nature of fair market value, we will no longer be issuing tax receipts for donated Library materials.
