Purpose/Objective
|
Richland Library Friends and Foundation seeks partners (corporate, nonprofit, faith or other community groups) to sponsor used material drives for donation to the library. Partners are asked to assemble donated books, CDs and DVDs in good condition, to help the Richland Library Friends and Foundation raise money to support innovative library programs and services. Our dedicated volunteers sort, price and shelve your donations for resale at our book sales. Items not relevant to our sales will be donated to other organizations.
