Please note: we are not currently seeking book donations, as we haven’t had a book sale in several years. See this post on Facebook for our recommendations for places to donate books.

If you have a small number of good condition books (see guidelines below), we may be able to take them. PLEASE do not donate books that do not meet our guidelines. It is a huge burden on us to get rid of books we cannot sell.

Book Donation Guidelines

The Hatfield Public Library accepts donated materials that are in good condition. Most items are given to the Friends of the Library for their twice-yearly book sales.

Good condition means:

• Clean
• Unmarked
• Books that have been stored in a dry location (no basement storage, please)
• Covers intact and in good condition
• No broken binding or torn pages
• No water damaged or moldy items

We do not accept the following items:

• Videocassettes
• Textbooks
• Readers Digest Condensed Books
• Encyclopedias
• Travel books older than 3 years
• Health books older than 5 years
• Magazines
• Multi-volume sets

We are not able to easily dispose of the above items. If they are mixed in with a donation, we will need to call you to retrieve the items. Please leave your name and phone number with any donations.
