Donations
Gift Books, Movies & Music
Your donation of materials or money are a way of enhancing library services. Donate your books to Bedford Public Library! Any books that do not become part of the Library's collection benefit the Library by becoming items of the Library's Book Sale. The money raised goes back into the Library to buy more materials for the collection.
Ways to Donate
Donate books - Alibris Wish List
Donating books is easy using the Donate-A-Book program from Alibris. Just select an item from the wish list and add it to your cart. After you place a Donate-A-Book order, Alibris will ship items directly to the Library. Alibris will notify us of your donation and provide contact information so that we may express our appreciation to you. You receive a receipt for tax purposes. So please help us fill our empty shelves with books. View the list.
Donate DVDs and Music CDs - Amazon Wish List
My Amazon.com Wish List DVDs and Music CDs are some of the most popular items used by our customers and there just aren't enough of them to satisfy demand. You can help us expand our collection by making a donation using the Amazon Wish List. Items on the list are offered at substantial discounts. To purchase an item, click the Add to cart button. The item will then be moved to the Purchased section of the recipient's Wish List when the order is placed. Orders are shipped directly to the Library so that they can be added to the collection. View the list.
Donate your Materials to the Library
Bring us your new and used books, magazines, videos, tapes, Music CDs, books on tape, and DVDs. Your generous donations help us grow by increasing the variety of our materials and resources. Donated materials will be added to the collection if they are needed and if they meet the selection standards that are applied to all materials added to the collection. When a donation is not added to the library's collection, it may be sent to the Friends of the Library for resale. All proceeds benefit the library. All your gifts are tax deductible.
We appreciate any donations you are able to give to the library. We are looking for gently used materials that are in good condition - not dusty, dirty, yellowed, damaged, mildewed/smelly or bug infested.
You may make a memorial donation. The donor receives a thank you, the honoree receives an acknowledgement and a book plate is placed inside the book recognizing the person. All donations are tax deductible.

Give Money
The Library actively encourages monetary donations. Monetary gifts are administered by the Friends of the Bedford Public Library on behalf of the Library. Determination as to the expenditure of such gifts will remain with the Library. All donations are tax-deductible.

Donations can be mailed to:
