Book Bags & Other Gift Items
The FriendShop has a variety of gift items, now at reduced prices.
Library Tote Bags | Leather Bookmarks
Reusable bags are good for the earth! Our Very Big Tote Bag (above, left) is cotton canvas, 21 in. wide, with an outside pocket, key clasp, and hook and loop closure, in natural with navy or forest green trim, all at a great price compared to similar big-name bags. (Sorry, the smaller tote bag is no longer available.)
Soft leather bookmarks with a library logo help you keep your place.
Great Baby Gift
Baby Boogie! CD $15
The library’s own CD of catchy tunes for tots features top-notch local talent and was a Parents’ Choice Approved Award Winner. The CD is part of a giveaway to parents of CU newborns, made possible by the Friends, that includes a booklet of reading tips and a board book.
Donations
The library accepts donations of books, CDs, and DVDs that are clean and in good condition. Items we feel would benefit our patrons go into our collection; others go to the FriendShop. Tax receipts are available.
Please don’t donate items that are torn, worn, moldy, damaged, or dirty. We cannot accept magazines and Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, nor encyclopedias or textbooks more than 5 years old.
Place donations of a few items in our book returns. For larger quantities, please put them in a box or bag and leave them outside the back of the library, at the white garage door. (Use the driveway just east of the book return drive.)
For other places to take items, see Recycling, Donating, and Getting Rid of Stuff under “Your Community/Home & Garden.”
