Donate for a good cause!

Jefferson County Public Library (through the Jefferson County Library Foundation) accepts books, audiobooks, videos, CD's, DVD's and magazine donations year-round. Book donations help fund literacy programs such as the Traveling Children's Library and the Summer Reading Club. Though all JCPL libraries accept book donations, each has limited storage space so we ask that large drop-offs be made at the Lakewood Library or the Foundation offices.

Large book donations:
* Lakewood Library (east side of building next to the garage doors before you exit), 10200 W. 20th Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80215
Public hours for dropping off donations at Lakewood are as follows:

Monday & Tuesday 7:30AM - 6:00PM
Wednesday & Thursday 7:30AM - 8:00PM
Friday 7:30AM – 5:00PM
Saturday 9:00AM – 5:00PM
Sunday 12 noon - 5:00PM

* Foundation offices, 10790 W. 50th Avenue, Suite 200. Call 303-403-5075 for appointment and directions. Questions also answered via email: friends@jeffcolibrary.org. Business hours only-no weekends.

Small book donations:
Arvada, Belmar, Columbine, Conifer, Edgewater, Evergreen, Golden, Lakewood, Standley Lake, Wheat Ridge Libraries

Magazines
*Due to limited space, JCPL prefers magazines published within the last two years. *Please consider "recycling" your non-current magazines at your local recycling center. You may also want to check with schools, senior homes or reception areas for doctor's offices for a better "home" for those magazines. Another suggestion is to list your items on Craig's List or www.freecycle.org. * "Collectible" magazines from the early 1900s-1940s will be accepted and sold at the 'Whale of a Used Book Sale.".
