Friends of the Upper Dublin Public Library The Friends are a non-profit organization founded to help support and promote activities and services of the Upper Dublin Public Library. The Friends provide funding for many of the children's programs and activities, for the Summer Reading Program, for the library automation, and for special purchases, such as electronic reference sources. They are always seeking new fundraising, promotional and programming ideas. Come to a meeting! The Friends meet in the township building meeting rooms.

Book Donation GuidelinesDONATIONS The Friends of the Upper Dublin Public Library gratefully accepts gently used donations of hardback books, paperbacks, children's books, videos & DVDs, audio books, CDs, and puzzles, which are then sold at the ongoing book sale to raise library funds. Donations are accepted in portable containers (bags, boxes, etc.) at the library front desk. Donations should not be put in the book drop or left in front of the building. Donors may ask for a letter acknowledging the donation. However, library staff cannot appraise the items or indicate a value in the acknowledgment letter. Time permitting, library staff will review donations and consider adding them to the collection in accordance with the Materials Selection/Collection Development Policy. The Friends and library staff reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of donations not added to the collection. Due to the lack of storage space and the difficulty of resale of some materials, not all donations are acceptable. We cannot accept:
We urge donors to observe these guidelines because unacceptable materials must be discarded at library expense. Occasionally, staff find personal items in donated books [examples: bookmarks, photographs, news clippings]. By the time the items are discovered, staff is unable to tell who made the donation. Photographs are usually saved for a reasonable amount of time in hopes that the owner may come to claim them. Most other items will be discarded immediately. Comments? Email Us |
