Donations

Please don’t place any donations in our drop boxes. With limited branch space to quarantine circulating library materials, we will have to recycle any donations. Please contact other local charities to see if they are accepting donations at this time. 

Georgina Public Library accepts financial donations as well as limited donations of books, eAudiobooks, and DVDs.

Books, eAudioBooks, and DVDs

Donations are sold in all locations with proceeds going towards library programs and services.

Donations are accepted only during operating hours, and must be screened by a staff member for acceptability. Donations become the property of the Library, and may be added to the collection, sold, or given away. Tax receipts are not issued for donated material.

We are only able to accept material that can be re-sold and meets the following criteria, in accordance with our Materials Selection Policy:

• published within the last two years AND
• in pristine condition AND
• currently popular title or subject
• please, no computer books, text books, or encyclopaedias

Items that do not meet the above criteria, but are still in excellent condition, may be accepted through the Better World Books initiative, by taking them to the Peter Gzowski (Sutton) Branch.

You may also be able to donate your items to these local organizations:

• Newmarket Value Village: 905-953-1344
• Keswick Stretch Thrift Store: 905-476-1225
• Sutton Stretch Thrift Store: 905-722-1011
