How Do I...

...donate materials to the Library?

To donate materials, simply bring them to the back of the library where our loading dock is located. Place items on the palette/cart near our back door entrance, preferably in a strong cardboard box if there are a lot. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ITEMS IN OUR BOOK RETURN DROPS/BINS. If you need assistance with unloading donations, please call (903) 237-1350 to let us know.

...volunteer at the Library?

Our volunteers are a vital component of everything we do at the Library, and we are so thankful for them!

We'll review your application and contact you for a follow up.
