Donate

The Friends of the Pleasanton Library are extremely grateful for your donations --
whether they are gently used books, CDs, and DVDs or monetary gifts.

Patrons of the Pleasanton Library and residents of the Tri-Valley area
are great donors of gently used books, CDs, DVDs, LPs, games, puzzles, and other valuable materials
that are offered in our biannual book sales, within our library bookstore,
and through our online site:
Friends of Pleasanton Library on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/shops/ptwnfriends


The proceeds from the Friends of the Library bookstore, book sales, and online store
go directly to the Pleasanton Public Library to help fund children's and adult programs,
collection additions, and special purchases. We greatly appreciate your donations.
There are four ways for you to donate your gently used items:

1) Drop off items at the Library — up to two grocery-sized bags
of gently used books, CDs, DVDs, LPs, games, and puzzles.
During regular Library hours, donations should be dropped off at the member services desk.
Though donations are always welcome and appreciate,
they should not be left outside the Library after hours.


2) Drop off your items at the book-sorting site, at the BACK of 157 Main Street
(south of Vic's All-Star Kitchen),
on Mondays from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and Thursdays from 12:30-2:00 p.m.
You may drop off your donations at this location on these days and times ONLY,
while the volunteers are there to accept your items (unless you have made an appointment).
Again, the donations must be brought to the BACK of 157 Main Street
during the specified days and times.
3) Complete the form below.
A volunteer with the Friends will then contact you to arrange a drop-off time and location.
4) Make arrangements to donate by calling Kate Roush, (913) 481-8302, manager of the book sale,
or Nancy Bering, (925) 462-4368, the president of the Friends of the Pleasanton Library.

Remember, tax-deduction receipts are provided upon request.

Donate Books


Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

What materials can I donate?
Books, textbooks (last five years), compact discs, DVDs, sheet music, magazines, records, and audio books can be donated. All donations must be clean and in good condition.

What items are not accepted?
Old textbooks and encyclopedias older than five years cannot be accepted, unfortunately. Books that have been damaged, bug infested, moldy, missing parts or pages are not saleable.

Where do donations go?
In most cases, the donations given to the Friends of the Library are sorted, priced, and sold at the biannual book sales and the Friends’ bookstore. Some book donations are added to the library collection, especially if they are books of special or local interest. In addition, high-value and unique book donations are made available through our online sales site: Friends of Pleasanton Library on Amazon.

The Friends of the Pleasanton Library will determine if donations of books and other material will be sold through its bookstore, book sales, online, or shared with Better World Books or other charitable organizations.

Are gifts tax deductible?
Yes! The Friends of the Pleasanton Library is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and your donation is tax deductible as a charitable contribution to the extent allowed by law. A receipt is available upon request. The valuation of the book and non-print materials is the responsibility of the donor; however, the number and type of material given will be acknowledged.

The Friends of the Library take pride in contributing to the excellence of the Pleasanton Public Library. You can support our efforts, and find great bargains on books, by visiting the Friends' bookstore in the library and during our biannual book sales (typically held in March or April and September or October). Your continued patronage of the Friends' bookstore and biannual book sales are vitally important and appreciated.


Monetary and Memorial Gifts
The Friends of the Pleasanton Library welcome gifts of cash or stock. Because the Friends have a 501(c)(3) status granted by the Internal Revenue Service and gifts to that organization are income tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, monetary gifts should be made payable to the Friends of the Pleasanton Library.
