Donations FAQ

• I would like to donate books, where can I leave them?

  We have a donation table located just past the library meeting rooms where all donations can be placed.

• Where can I get information about making a memorial or other donation?

  Memorial and other donations to the Ocean City Free Public Library are welcomed and appreciated. Donations can be made by check (payable to Ocean City Free Public Library) or cash in person. Please note that we do not accept online donations at this time.
  Checks may be mailed or dropped off at the Library. Please include the following information with your donation:

  • Your name and address
  • The name of the person being memorialized (if applicable)
  • Names and addresses of anyone you would like notified of the donation
  • Any preference for type of material (such as Large Print, Children's books, or a specific subject area)

  As a general guide, $25 purchases approximately one book, while $50 purchases two to three books.
  If you prefer, you may email the required information separately to Becky Greene at becky@oceancitylibrary.org. Once we receive your donation, we will purchase materials according to your wishes, send acknowledgment notifications, and place commemorative bookplates inside the front cover of donated items.

  For more information on making a memorial or other donations, please contact Becky Greene at becky@oceancitylibrary.org or call (609) 399-2434, ext. 5234.

• What materials can I donate?

  Book donations are accepted by the Friends and Volunteers of the Ocean City Free Public Library.

  Please do not donate encyclopedias, textbooks, newspapers, or magazines.
