The Library cannot accept donations of the following items: encyclopedias, medical books older than five (5) years old, Reader’s Digest Condensed books, and textbooks.
It is the donor’s responsibility to establish fair market value or obtain expert assistance in establishing any value when assigning and documenting monetary value for tax purposes.
