Jocko Valley Library is grateful for donations of books and other materials which are an important supplement to our collection. All donations must be approved by the librarian and/or director. Patrons often have questions about donations of used materials:

How do you determine if the book is in good physical condition?
Books with brittle pages, mildew damage, or torn and/or missing pages will not be accepted.

Is a book too old for donation?
Yes, we do not accept books with a copyright older than 1990.

Does the Library need textbooks?
No the library does not accept textbooks.

Does the Library want back issues of magazines?
Yes, if they are issues not already in the library collection and they must be approved by the director.

Please remember that donated materials become the property of Jocko Valley Library. If we do not put the donated item into our collection we will put it into our annual book sale or dispose of them.

Please do NOT leave donations outside the locked gate or in the library book return box. Please respect our donation policy, our time is limited to sort out books you no longer want. We will be very happy to accept donations that meet our requirements listed above.
