Donation Day
U-Haul Storage Center 461 Pullman Crossing, Grasonville, MD, United StatesWhile the Friends of the Library accept small donations of gently used books, CDs, and DVDs throughout the year at Kent Island and Centreville libraries, a lack of storage space limits the amount of donations we can generally manage.
This winter, the Friends are able to accept donations of large collections of books at an offsite storage facility. Just pull your car up to the U-Haul Storage center on one of our two Winter Donation Days, and load all of your books (and DVDs and CDs) onto a cart to be taken away!
