DONATE
BOOKS, MONEY, and TIME
The Friends of the Library Book Sales are a significant source of funding for library programming, museum passes, and many extras for Chelmsford patrons. The community’s support through donations and volunteer hours is greatly appreciated.
HOW TO DONATE BOOKS
There are two ways to donate:
- Use the 24/7 drop-box at the side of the main library.
This box is located at the end of the side parking lot. Look for the “Book Sale Drop-Off” banner. This box is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please do Not drop-off items during rain or snow forecasts as the box is not weatherproof. - For Large Donations
If you are emptying a house or an estate and would like to donate a large collection of books, please contact us at [email protected].
