We are accepting donations of gently used books in good condition. Please drop off your donations in the donation bins in the back of the library. Follow the “delivery” signs in the parking lot to the back of the Library where you will find the donation bins.
The Library has sales in the lower lobby on a daily basis. These books are priced to sell!
Book Sale Donations
In order for the Library’s Book Sales to be successful, we rely on donations from you. Most of our materials are in beautiful and almost new condition. That is exactly what we want!
We cannot accept:
- Moldy, musty, broken, dirty or otherwise undesirable books
- Encyclopedias and textbooks
- VHS and cassette tapes
- Magazines
- Home-made DVDs or CDs
All donations must be brought to the outdoor bins in the back of the building.
174-b of New York’s Executive Law (solicitation of charitable contributions): Upon request, any patron may ask for and obtain a copy of the use of Book Sale funds. To request this information, contact our Library Director, Darlene Alessi.
Book Sale Volunteers
Join Our Book Sale Team
Suffern Free Library Book Sales are entirely run by volunteers. There are various opportunities for volunteering including weekly work sorting items and emptying donation bins. Other ways to volunteer include working on the day of the Book Sale in various ways. Most Book Sale work requires physical labor.
To volunteer at the Book Sale, please contact the Library through the website or call the Library at (845) 357-1237. You may also visit one of our Book Sales and speak with Joyce Nencetti.
