You may volunteer at other times, but there must be 2 volunteers present at all times. If you have a buddy or 2, you can come and work at any time–you don’t have to follow the scheduled shifts. Just sign in at the Information Desk.

Donate Books

The library accepts donations of items in new or good condition according to the specifications in this policy. The library cannot guarantee that donations will be added to the circulating collection. The library’s Collection Development Policy will determine the acquisition of donated items. Items not added to the collection will be gifted to The Friends of the Kent Free Library for future book sales to raise funds for the library. Leftover book sale items may be recycled or offered to other local organizations and non-profits.
