Donations should not be left at the library when the library is closed. It is the donor’s responsibility to make appropriate arrangements to transport and bring items inside the library.

Please consider bringing your donations boxed.
The Friends of the Lane Memorial Library is a volunteer, non-profit organization. They accept donations through the library based on time available for processing, availability of space, suitability of format, community interest, and physical condition of the item. Items not kept by the Friends are either processed for disposal or donated to other organizations that utilize book donations.
