GENERAL SUPPORT
When you make a donation to the library, you contribute to the quality of life in your community and you help to strengthen the library's mission "to provide you with resources, programs, and services that enhance and enrich your life." Your donation helps us to promote open and equal access to cultural, intellectual, recreational, and informational resources.

Donate online, in person, or by mail.

GIFTS OF LOVE
Give a gift of love in celebration, honor, or memory of someone special. Your gift of love is unique, lasts forever, and benefits many. You have the choice to specify the type of gift (book, movie, audio, etc.), genre (fiction, mystery, history, etc.), and collection (adult, teen, children) or leave the choice up to our librarians. All gifts receive a special acknowledgment plate, and notice of the gift is sent to you and those whom you specify.
Gifts of love begin at $20.00

Donate online, in person, or by mail.

SUPPORT the LIBRARY & the ENVIRONMENT
Bring your used ink jet, toner cartridges, and old cell phones to the library for recycling. We belong to a program that not only recycles the cartridges and phones but pays us a certain amount, depending upon brands and quantities. Every little bit helps the library and the planet.

Improper disposal of e-waste harms our environment by damaging air, soil and water, and takes up ever-increasing space in our landfills. Ink jet cartridges, toner cartridges and cell phones contain substances that are potentially hazardous to humans and animals. So, bring them to us and feel good about supporting both the library and the environment.

DONATION of GENTLY USED MATERIAL
The library accepts gently used books, audio books, and movies. Local history materials from the Delaware County and Haverford areas are welcome, as are foreign language materials. We ask that you NOT bring items that have water damage, are mildewed or moldy, are yellowed, torn, smell of smoke, etc. We also ask that you NOT bring condensed books, magazines, outdated encyclopedias or other outdated reference books or text books.

The librarians will determine if a donated item is suitable for our collection. If it is determined that an item is not suitable, it will be put in the book sale or, if not in acceptable condition, discarded.

The donor will receive a written acknowledgment of the gift. If the donor wishes to receive such an acknowledgment and is unable to wait for a receipt, she/he should leave their name, address and number of books donated. Library staff will not appraise the books or indicate a value in the acknowledgment letter.

Please contact the library in person, by phone at 610-446-3082, or by email at htfladmin@gmail.com if you have questions about items you are considering donating to the library and if you have more than one bag or box of books to donate.
