Donations

Rich Valley Public Library is grateful to the community for the various donations that we receive. In general, we accept donated materials that are newer than 2005 and are in good shape, but what is not accepted into our collection is sold in our book sale or distributed throughout our community. The proceeds go towards funding the purchase of new materials, sponsoring programs, and more.
