Donations of Books and Materials

The Friends of The Patricia Romanko Public Library collect hardbound and paperback books, audio books, DVDs, and CDs, to benefit the library. Some of these gifts are incorporated into the library’s collection, while others are sold in the Friends book sales to benefit the library.

Where can I donate materials? The Friends group receives donations at the Library only. If you are unable to come to the library, you may be able to arrange for a volunteer to pick up larger quantities by calling 208 722-6605.

What happens to donated materials? The Library reviews donated materials and adds suitable materials to the Library’s collection. Each year, many items are added to the collection from donations. Remaining books and materials go into the Friends book sales to raise funds to support the Library. Unsold books may be donated to other area libraries and nonprofit organizations.

What materials are accepted? The Friends accept hardbound and paperback books, audio books, CDs, and DVDs, in good working condition.
