Donating Materials to the Library


The Santa Rosa County Library System appreciates the willingness of our citizens to donate materials to our libraries. We take pride in the quality of our collections in our quest to provide excellent and accessible collections for all SRC citizens. Standard selection guidelines are used to evaluate both purchased and donated materials for our collections. When donated materials are received, the library retains unconditional ownership of them and makes the final decision on their acceptance, use, and disposition. Materials that are unsuitable for library collections are given to Friends of the Library groups to sell for benefit to the library, or disposed of otherwise.

Library collection items must withstand heavy use for circulating, and many book store and book club editions are not suitable. Libraries do not have space or manpower to manage and store donated materials that can not be used in our collections or sold in book sales. Therefore, we will not accept the following items:
  • Books or AV materials in poor physical condition (damaged, soiled, mildewed, molded, water damaged, written markings, insect stains or excrement, brown or frayed edges, bad cases)
  • Non-Fiction Books that are more than three years old
  • Books with poor quality print, outdated illustrations, or weak bindings
  • Incomplete sets of books or AV materials
  • Encyclopedias
  • Readers Digest Condensed books
  • Text books in any subject area
  • Magazines
  • Materials that have been withdrawn from other libraries
  • Computer software
