The Friends also volunteer for many library support services. Call 650-780-7050 to get more information about joining and volunteer opportunities.

Donations

The Friends operates a resale book store inside the Main Library to generate funds to support library programs and events. We accept donations of gently used hard cover and soft cover books, videos, and CDs. The donation box is situated inside the main library’s entrance; for large donations, come to the library’s back door for assistance.

We do not accept: magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, text books more than 5 years old, medical/nursing manuals, or training or company manuals. Please do not donate anything that is soiled, torn or has been in storage.
