Ways to donate
(Note that we are the Friends of the San Carlos Library located in the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. For the Friends of San Carlos Library located in the SAN DIEGO AREA, click here.)
Books
Most of our funds are raised through the sale of donated books and media. When you clean out your bookshelves, consider donating your gently used books to the Friends of the Library for our Bookshop and Monthly book sales.
Drop off your books in the underground parking lot of the San Carlos Library. There you’ll see a cage with a drop-off spot for the Friends of the Library. Donation receipts are available here, as all donations to the Friends are tax deductible.
Please recycle worn items ahead of time.
