Book Sale Donations

Donation items in good condition may be brought to the Library during business hours. Donations may be brought to the circulation desk. If you have a larger amount of items, stop in or call the circulation desk (701-355-1480) to notify staff, and someone will assist you with unloading your donation at the loading dock on the west side of the building.
