BOOK & MEDIA DONATION POLICY

The Friends of the Clark Public Library takes donations year-round for the library’s book sale spinner and book sales.

If the answer is, “yes”, then you may donate it.

Donations should have intact binding and be free of the following:

stains, water damage, mold, yellowing pages, mildew, dust, musty smell, missing front covers, ripped or missing pages, pages falling out, taped or glued pages, writing of any kind or kept together with rubber bands or tape.

We do NOT accept the following materials:

• Computer books (Unless Published in the Past 2 Years)
