Donate

Monetary donations may be made online via Paypal or credit/debit card by clicking the donate button above. If you prefer to give in person, we accept cash and check donations at both libraries.

Friends of the Libraries also gratefully accepts donations of gently used library materials, including:

  • Hardback and paperback books
  • Children’s books
  • Magazines
  • CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks

These materials may be dropped off at Hawthorne Library or Wiseburn Library during normal library hours. Friends of the Libraries finds new readers for your donated items and uses the proceeds to sponsor initiatives at both libraries. 

Friends of the Hawthorne and Wiseburn Libraries is registered 501(c)(3) organization (EIN# 82-3630553). Donations are tax deductible in accordance with federal and state laws, and we are happy to provide a donation receipt for tax purposes.
