1. Where do I go to donate my books and other items?

• Please bring donations of books to the library, during regular hours of operation; for more information on location and hours, visit the Public Library Directory.
• For assistance with larger donations, stop by the Administrative office or call 361-485-3304 to schedule an appointment.
• We may not be able to accept excessively large donations such as a "truck load." 
  • Additionally, once our inventory needs have been met, we may decline to accept donations.

2. How much can I claim as a charitable donation?

We do not determine the value of the donation. A letter can be provided designating how many paperbacks and hardbacks were donated.

3. What happens to the items I donate?

Depending on the quality and condition of donated items, they will be:

• Put into the general collection of the library
• Put into our book sale
• Given away
