Material Donations 

The Sandwich Public Library gladly accepts donations. All donations are sorted and examined in order to determine if the donated item will be added to the library's collection. If not, the donated item will be sent to the Thrift Books donation center, be placed in the library's book sale, or recycled depending on the item's condition.

• Items must be boxed or bagged.
• If you have more than two cartons please call 815-786-8308 x204 in advance to arrange a drop off time. If no one answers, please leave a message and we will call you back.
• The library reserves the right to refuse donations
• By donating material, you waive your rights to said material
• Please bring donations to the circulation desk and do not place donations in book drop
