Richland Library Friends and Foundation seeks to partner with (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. The donations will be used for resale at our book sales. Items not relevant to our sales will be donated to other organizations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assemble gently used materials (paperback/hardback books, CDs, DVDs and albums) for all ages and all genres.
- Bag or box all items in disposable containers.
- Packaging cannot be returned.
- Contact Katy Watkins to schedule a time to bring the materials to the Richland Library Operations Center (130 Lancewood Road, Columbia, SC 29210).
- The Operations Center has hand trucks and dollies to assist with unloading.
The Richland Library Friends and Foundation is the nonprofit arm of Richland Library, Richland County’s nationally recognized, award-winning library system. The Friends and Foundation supports the Library’s inclusive environment that battles inequity on multiple fronts—from literacy and workforce development to social services—because increasing access to tools for advancement helps our entire community thrive.
Support: A Richland Library Office of Philanthropy staff is available to provide support and answer questions for any group interested in assembling and gifting materials to the Richland Library Friends and Foundation.
Benefits: Gifts to the Friends and Foundation help fuel innovative programs and services not covered by Richland Library’s tax appropriation. Your support truly helps elevate the quality of life in our community.
*Shift hours can be set up with Katy Watkins for individual/group.
