ANY shopping (even after the holidays) will help the library!
Books & Materials
Please note, NOPL branches may only accept donations at certain times of the year. To donate please make an appointment to drop off any amount of items with the Cicero Branch or Brewerton Branch.
NOPL Cicero and Brewerton Branches will accept items in like-new condition, including books, DVDs, audiobooks, recent textbooks (Cicero Branch ONLY), games, and puzzles. Unfortunately, we cannot accept encyclopedias, magazines, Reader’s Digest Condensed, or VHS tapes.
