LHPL gladly accepts donations of your gently used books and selects other materials at both branches! Materials you no longer want can help ensure that learning continues in our community for all.

Donation List

We accept: (Please note the exceptions listed below)

• Books
• Magazines (that are published monthly and are no more than three years old)
• CDs
• DVDs

We do NOT accept the following:

• VHS tapes
• Encyclopedia
• Reader’s Digest Condensed Books
• Consumer Reports
• Professional law books
• Textbooks dated 2017 or earlier

We ask that donated material be:

• Free of mold, excessive dust, or dirt
• In reasonable condition, void of major damage
• and Playable if the item is in CD or DVD format.

You may bring your donations (four boxes or less) to the library during regular hours. Please box your books (no bags or loose donations) and close the boxes before donating. Boxes, if you need them, are available at the drop-off point. For questions or help with donations larger than four boxes, please call us at 812.937.7170.

When we sell your donated books at our Underground Bookstore, the proceeds help support more library programs that promote learning and community building.
