Book Donations

Each HCPL branch has a Friends of the Library group. For most of those groups, the sale of donated, gently-used books is one the primary sources of fundraising. Proceeds from these sales directly support programming and help to purchase new materials for their branches.

Donate Time

Shelving books, teaching ESL or citizenship classes, or helping with a program - any way you would like to volunteer is helpful. We will match you with a branch that is convenient to you.

Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference
