Can I donate books/DVDs/magazines to the library?

The Friends of the Library groups accept donations to use in their regular book sales. Friends of the Columbia Library accepts donations of hardback books, paperbacks, children’s books, music CDs, audiobooks and DVDs (no magazines or VHS tapes, please).

The Callaway Friends and Southern Boone County Friends accept donations of books of all kinds. Donations are only accepted during regular open hours.

At the Columbia Library, you can bring your donations into the check-out desk in the lobby, or if you have a large number of items, you can bring them to the dock in the library’s southwest corner. There is a buzzer there you can ring to call for assistance.
