Book Donation Information

WCDPL is unable to accept donated materials due to the loss of local book recycling and lack of storage space at the library. 

Where can I  donate books in Wood County? The table below provides a list of Wood County organizations which will or will not accept your donations of books. It is always a good idea to call ahead in case an organization's policy has changed.
