Donations

Thank you for thinking of the Johnson County Library! Community donations are greatly appreciated, and we're happy to give books and other materials a second life.

Bringing in Donations

Donations are accepted Monday through Friday, during regular Library hours (10 a.m.–6 p.m.). Due to limited staff availability, donations cannot be accepted on Saturdays or outside regular hours.

The library can accept up to 100 books per donor each week. Larger donations require advance arrangements. Please call (307) 684-5546 before bringing items by so we can make sure there is space to receive them.

Wyoming weather can be unpredictable, and donations left outside may be damaged by the elements. To help keep items in good condition, please bring donations inside during regular library hours.

While the Library is unable to offer pick-up services, staff are happy to assist with bringing donations inside when you arrive. For larger donations, please call ahead to arrange a convenient drop-off time.

How Your Donations Are Used

Donated books and materials can continue to be enjoyed by others throughout the community. Each donation is thoughtfully reviewed to determine how it can best be used. Some items may be added to the library's collection, while most are set aside for Friends of the Library book sales.

The Friends hold two to three book sales each year, with proceeds helping fund library programs for all ages.

Thank you for thinking of the Johnson County Library and the Friends of the Library. Your donations and continued support help make these programs and services possible for our community!
