Donating Books

Books you would like to donate for resale or to be used by other libraries or schools in need should be placed in the blue donation bin located in the library parking lot. These donations are then handled by Discover Books, which is an organization that tries to give the books a new home, or recycles them. They do not end up in landfills. A portion of proceeds from these donations is given back to the library.

Friends and Foundation

The Friends and Foundation of Fremont Public Library District is the main fundraising body and a 501c3 organization.  We believe that a good public library is vital to the intellectual, cultural and social growth of our community.

We organize and maintain the “Book Nook,” offering for sale donated and library withdrawn books, movies, music, audiobooks, and more. 

We facilitate all monetary donations that come to the library, including those from the annual giving campaign.


Membership

Friends and Foundation members volunteer to organize the Book Nook to sell withdrawn items to the public. The proceeds directly benefit Fremont Public Library. 

The group meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 1pm in the Community Room on the second floor. All are welcome!

To become a member, fill out the form on the right. A member of the Friends and Foundation will be in touch soon!

Friends' Book Nook

The Friends encourage everyone to shop from the Nook under the stairs in the library whenever the library is open. There are prices on the books or signs with the suggested price, but anything you can give is welcome. You can put cash in the box or dinosaur, or pay online with a credit card or your PayPal account.
