Some Changes to Book Donation Policy
On October 1, the Friends of the Rockport Public Library will resume accepting donations of gently used books, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, and puzzles in GOOD CONDITION (cover and pages must be intact, and no mold or mustiness). Due to limited storage space, donations are now limited to a maximum of 3 BOXES OR BAGS OF BOOKS per family, every 4 months. The Friends cannot accept VHS tapes, cassette tapes, magazines, encyclopedias, or any tech/medical/health/reference books more than 4 years old.
We are grateful for the public's donations, as book sale revenue is very important to supporting the library and its programs. Thank you.

The Friends of the Rockport Public Library introduces library lovers to each other while building connections throughout our community. Hosting meetings, events, and book sales, the organization supports the library on several levels. In past years, we have helped purchase library materials; supported the annual butterfly gardens; provided new book stacks and exterior railings; and funded programs that serve everyone using the library.

The Foundation is an IRS 501.c3 not-for-profit organization formed in 2018 by a small group of dedicated Rockport residents to raise the required funding for the new Rockport Public Library. While we successfully raised the initial funding for the building and furnishings, we’ve now set our sights on developing a world-class speaker series. CLICK HERE to learn more.
