The Friends have changed their donation drop off policy to a specific date when everyone can drop off and things are sorted on the spot. However, if you have children’s books in good condition, please contact Shodie Alcorn in the Children’s Room. Please adhere to the guidelines below when bringing in items for donation. Please do not leave donations outside.
If you would like an email alert about the next drop off date (click here).

RECYLING OLD BOOKS
Due to the expense involved in disposing of large quantities of unsuitable material we ask that you examine your material carefully following the above guidelines. Bedford residents can recycle their books at the Town of Bedford Recycling Center on Adams Street – remove the front and back of the hardcovers. Alternatively use your trash carrier.
TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS
All donations are tax deductible – ask for a receipt. Determination of quantity and value are the responsibility of the donor alone.
