GOT BOOKS?

 Is it possible to have too many books?  Sometimes your bookshelves may be overflowing and you just simply need room.  Also, you may be finished with books that you know you'll never read again.  Children grow and they outgrow their books.
    
We have the perfect place to bring your books!  We accept donations for the Friends of the Library.  Mt. Pleasant Regional Library uses paperbacks for our little red cart, and The Friends use the hardbacks for book sales to raise money for the library.
   
 If you have several boxes to donate, it's better to take them to the Main Library.  For smaller amounts, you may bring them to the front desk and receive a receipt for your taxes.

Books that are on the school reading lists are kept at the Reference Desk for students to borrow if all copies are checked out. If you are finished with books from the reading lists, we'd appreciate your donations.

We accept books in good condition.  We do not accept magazines or encyclopedias.

Also, if you're looking for a volunteer position, The Friends of the Library need you! There is a need at Mt. Pleasant Regional Library to sort and pack donations.  For other volunteer positions and information, please contact The Friends of the Library at 843-805-6882.

Please contact us at 843-849-6161 for information about donations. We appreciate your donations.
