Book Donation Guidelines

CSPL accepts material donations to be used in our collection such as books, movies, and more! However, we also have some Donation Guidelines we would like you to follow to ensure the best materials can be used for our community. If you are giving donations for the Books Sale, please contact the Friends of the Cedar Springs Library.

HARDCOVER PREFERRED: We will only accept hardcover books for use in our collection. We do not accept mass market paperbacks (smaller books). Exceptions include some trade paperbacks (larger books) and middle grade readers.

GOOD CONDITION: All materials should be in good condition with minimal wear and tear. Books with torn pages and/or have been written/drawn in will not be accepted. DVDs & Blu-Rays should have minimal scratches.

RELEVANT/TIMELY INFORMATION: We will not accept Non-Fiction titles with a publication date of older than 2 years. Exceptions include biographies and some instructional (“How-to”) books.

Thank you.
