PRFOL Donation Guidelines

Where and When Can You Donate?
Our donation site is at Webster House, 301 E. Olive St. Take the driveway on the east side of the building and look for the yellow donations shelf under the carport on your right. Place on the shelves or in the boxes if available. We do not sell books at Webster House. Donations are accepted 24/7.
Small donations of one tote bag or less may be dropped off with library staff at an information desk.

Does PRFOL Provide Receipts?
