Ways to Donate to the Library
There are many ways you can donate to and help the library:
BOOK DONATIONS
We appreciate all items donated to the library.
Items will be sorted and we will use all that we can. Some will be put on the shelves. Some will be used in crafts. And some will be recycled by volunteers.
When looking to donate books ask yourself if the book is newer and would you still read it yourself.
We often find "treasures" in the donations that complete a set we have or bring us back some great memories, unfortunately not all will make it to the shelves.
But don't worry, they will all find a purpose here in the library.
We will gladly accept newer hardcover books.
Thank you for thinking of the Sergeant Bluff Public Library!
MONETARY DONATIONS
Smaller libraries have smaller operating budgets and thus we will greatly appreciate any monetary donations. It doesn't have to be a lot as every dollar counts!
We use donations to purchase supplies for the library, new books, and/or pay for items related to programs offered through the library. If you would like to make a
monetary donation to the library, you can mail a check to:
Sergeant Bluff Public Library
Attn: Library Director
503 4th Street
Sergeant Bluff, IA 51054
SUPPLY DONATIONS
Another very easy way you can donate to the library is to help with direct purchase of supplies we use every day, such as:
- Reams of printer paper
- Address labels that we use to label our books (Avery 5160 is the specific label we use)
- AVERY 2" x 3.5" Business Cards, Sure Feed Technology, for Laser Printers, 250 Cards (5371),
- We print our own library cards using these cards along with other uses, so we go through a lot!
- Ink or Gel Pens
- Scotch Tape Rolls for Tape dispensers
- Red Paper Folders for our "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" patron packets
- We also have an Amazon Wish List that patrons or supporters can order directly from and the items will be shipped directly to the library:
