Donation Break: Books and Other Materials

The Friends volunteers who accept donations of books, DVDs, music CDs, and puzzles at the library on Tuesdays will be taking a 6-week summer break from June 30 to August 4, 2026. Volunteers will be back to accept donations on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month from 12:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. beginning on August 11, 2026.

If you have several boxes of items to donate and cannot wait until August 11, 2026, please schedule a drop-off appointment by emailing the Friends of the New Richmond Community Library at [email protected]. This ensures a volunteer will be there to accept your donation.

Small donations, like just a handful of items, can be left with library staff at the library service desk any time during open hours. Please do not leave donations outside the library or in the book drop.

Memorials, Bequests and Cash Donations

Library patrons can support the work of the library through monetary donations. Donors can give to the ongoing work of the library, designate purchase of materials to a particular area (i.e. children’s books, large print) or for ongoing and special projects as they arise.

Memorials in the name of loved ones are accepted and appreciated.  Nameplates are placed in the front of any materials or furniture purchased.  Memorials may also be given for the ongoing work of the library.

You can also leave a lasting gift to the community by including the New Richmond Community Library in your estate planning.
