Book Donations

The success of our Book Sale depends on many generous donors throughout the year. Our sorting volunteers will review the donations and prepare for the annual
Friends of the Winnipeg Public Library Book Sale.

WHAT TO DONATE:

Books, DVD’s, Video Games (all formats), CD’s and LPs in saleable condition. We love the words gently used but still lots of life.

WHERE TO DONATE:

Any Winnipeg Public Library Branch in the city.

HOW TO DONATE:

  • Pack donations in ‘sturdy/liftable’, small to medium sized boxes
  • No more than 3 boxes per visit
  • Label the box(es) ‘FRIENDS’. (Please no bags.)
  • Boxes will make their way to our volunteer sorters 

Our Book Room sorters may be able to assist with accepting larger donations or pick-ups. Please contact our Coordinator Book Room to get more information.

WHEN TO DONATE:

Drop off donations during regular Winnipeg Public Library hours (please check the website for hours of your local library branch).

DO NOT DONATE:

  • Textbooks
  • Professional books (accounting, law, medicine, etc.)
  • Encyclopedias, unless 1920’s or older
  • Computer, business and finance books older than 5 years
  • Magazines (exceptions for Anna, history, gourmet, décor, art and design)

Thank you very much for your donations!
