DONATIONS
Donate Items to the Friends
We raise money for the library by selling books and other items that have been donated by generous people like you! Please bring your donated books to the Sunnyvale Public Library’s circulation desk during open hours. Your donation is tax deductible under IRS section 501(c)(3). Please ask for a donation receipt. Learn how we use your donation.
We request that only banker sized boxes or smaller be used for donations – no large moving boxes or heavy crates, please. You may donate up to four boxes per day. You may be asked to transfer items to smaller boxes to help protect the library staff and volunteers from injury.
If you would not give it to a friend, please do not give it to the Friends.
