Donation Guidelines

The library welcomes donations of like-new fiction paperbacks and hardbacks, 2007 or newer, as well as classics.  Donations of like-new children's fiction, nonfiction, DVDs and CDs are also accepted, as are like-new DVDs and CDs for all ages.

The library cannot accept donations of textbooks, encyclopedias, VHS, cassette tapes or magazines.  Other sites that accept donations include the Idaho Youth Ranch and various thrift stores.

All donated items become the property of the library and will be reviewed for inclusion in the collection, with non-added items being sold in the Friends of Meridian Library quarterly book sale.

Donors may obtain a receipt from the library for tax purposes, and all donations qualify for the Idaho Public Library Contribution Tax Credit.  Donations may be dropped off at the main Meridian Library District location at 1326 W. Cherry Lane during normal business hours.
