While Norman Central is closed, we are taking donations at these times and locations. Thank you to our community partners and libraries for supporting our mission!
We take donations at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, but only on certain days. Currently, those days will be October 15, 22, 24, and 31 from 10-2. At the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, locate Building G, pull up to the portico outside the arena lobby, and volunteers can help you unload your donations.
When in doubt, go ahead and take them to Norman West on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10-2.

Donate books.
Most of the materials that we sell to raise money for the library come from community donations. We accept gently used books and other materials, such as DVDs and CDs. We would also love your gently used, recent magazines. Our volunteers sort through all donations to determine where they can best be utilized. Donations are tax-deductible; and, you can receive a receipt at time of donation.

Make a monetary donation.
Are you looking for a worthy cause for your annual giving? Supporting FONL and public libraries is a great investment in our community. Libraries provide access necessary to promote economic development, small businesses, engaged and responsible youth, and a wide variety of information and programs that make Norman a great place to live.
Since FONL is entirely run by volunteers, you can be certain that 100% of your donation and membership dues go directly toward supporting the Norman libraries. Though the Norman libraries are part of the Pioneer Library System, our Friends group only supports the libraries within Norman. Other Friends groups support the other libraries in the system. Your donation will remain in the Norman community.
