Book Sales & Book Donations

The Friends of the Rockport Library (FRL) host three HUGE book sales a year in the lower level of the library. The dates for the 2024 book sales are: APRIL 19 & 20, JUNE 7 & 8, SEPTEMBER 13 & 14, and DECEMBER 6 & 7.  All of the proceeds from these sales benefit the Rockport Library. CLICK HERE to learn more about FRL and how you can help.

For most of the year, the library will accept donations of gently used books, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, and puzzles at the circulation desk on the main level. There are some occasions when FRL needs to put a temporary hold on accepting donations so that the storage area can be organized. It's a good idea to call the library ahead of time (207-236-3642), if you plan to drop off donations. 

Below is a graphic to help you understand what we are looking for, and what we cannot accept. If you have further questions, please feel free to call the library.

All books, DVDs, audiobooks, and puzzles should be in GOOD CONDITION and all have covers/pages and boxes/cases included and intact. We cannot accept items that are moldy or musty, VHS tapes, cassette tapes, magazines, encyclopedias, or any tech/medical/health/reference books more than 4 years old.

Due to limited storage space, donations are limited to a maximum or 3 bags/boxes per family, every 4 months. Thanks!
