Donations to the Library


 Due to a lack of storage, the Library will no longer be accepting general book or magazine donations. The Library will still accept donations of videos, CDs, and books-on-tape.

Please speak to the Library Director or the Archivist if you feel that you have a donation that would particularly enrich the Library Collection.

Two months prior to a Library book sale, the Library will announce that donations will now be accepted. Book sales are usually during the Danvers Family Festival which is held in early summer.
