If you have gently used books and DVD's that are saleable, and would like to donate them to the Friends, please use the contact form below or call to make sure the Friends are accepting donations at this time. Please do not bring donations directly to the library staff without first contacting the Friends.
The Friends is a group of local residents and business members of the community who value public library service and believe that their library is one of the key elements that make their community a great place to live. They volunteer their time and talent to promote the use of the library and to raise funds which are used to enhance library services.
If you have gently used books that are saleable, and would like to donate them to the Friends, please use the contact form below or call to make sure the Friends are accepting donations at this time. Please do not bring donations directly to the library staff.
Acceptable donations:

We cannot accept:
Home recorded VHS or cassette tapes
Organizational pamphlets (business, religious, political, etc.)

If you have more than three (3) boxes of books to donate, please call 330-858-3818 to set up a date and time to drop them off. Library staff are not available to help carry boxes into the library and space is limited.
We can no longer pick up books at your residence -- insurance rules prohibit it.
We stop accepting donations three (3) weeks before the spring and fall book sales.
You may put books that do not meet our criteria into the recycle bin behind the library -- this will still generate funds for the library.
Please make sure your containers/bags are clean and do not have personal items that you do not intend to donate.
Membership applications and brochures about the Reed Memorial Library Friends of the library organization are available in the library. Friends Board and committee members generally meet once a month to conduct their business. There is a small membership fee to join the Friends. As a Friend of the Library you can choose how much you wish to become involved but be assured---you will be among "Friends."
