Each year, generous donations from community members enhance the Library and help us in our mission to provide a wide range of services and resources to the community. Click here for the Library’s full Donation Policy.
Material Donations (Books, DVDs, etc.)
- The Friends accept: hard and softcover books, DVDs, audiobooks, and CDs. Unfortunately, they are unable to accept magazines, VHS tapes, encyclopedias, dictionaries, or old textbooks.
- All items should be in donation-worthy condition, with no ripped pages or stains.
- You can bring the donation to the Circulation Staff inside the library (Please no drop-offs in the book drops or outside the building.)
- There is a limit of 1 bag/box per day per household, in order to give volunteers time to go through all donations.
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations at all levels of giving provide funding for programs, community outreach services, materials, technology, and capital improvements beyond the reach of the Library’s budget. Donations can be made directly to the Library and are tax-deductible as provided in Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. Click here to donate online by credit card. Check donations should be made payable to the Frankfort Public Library District, and have “Donation” written in the memo, so that the Business Office can determine where to route it. Checks can be mailed to:
