What does the Grant Public Library do with donations? All donations are greatly appreciated. The library adds donated items to the collection, sells them in library book sale room, donates them to other nonprofit agencies, or recycles them. The money raised through sales and cash donations helps to fund programs and/or the purchase of books and other materials. What can I do with materials the library cannot accept? Most thrift stores accept books and other materials as donations. Damaged books can be recycled as mixed paper. Directions to the recycling collection site:
From the library proceed along 6th Street West (away from Main Street)
Take the first right onto 1st Avenue West
The collection site is on the left. Place books in the paper recycling bins.
