Donate Books, Time or Money to Support Your Library.
Donate Used Books
Most of us read a book and then put it on a shelf or in a box to take up space. Well, instead, we hope you will consider donating your books, DVDs and CDs to the Friends to help us raise money for the library. We'll help your books find a good home and, at the same time, help make our community library an even better facility. To donate books, please drop them in one of the large bins next to the Wisner Center by the library. If you have an estate collection of potentially valuable books, please send an email to cascadefriends1@gmail.com to schedule a meeting to discuss the collection.
Donate Your Time and Expertise
If you would like to volunteer a couple hours per week to help the Friends in their mission to support the library, visit our Volunteer page for more information.
Donate Money
When you become a member of the Friends, you are, in effect, donating to support our mission. But, we still welcome independent donations if you would like to do a little more to help. You can make a donation on our website. Just select "Patron," "Contributor," "Benefactor" or "Champion" and add it to your cart before checking out of our online store. You can also make a donation when you renew your membership..
When You shop at smile.amazon.com, amazon makes a donation.
How much will Amazon donate?
If you shop at AmazonSmile, they will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the Friends at no additional cost to you. That's not a lot. But, if a lot of people do it, it can make a difference over time. And, it doesn't cost you a thing.
