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 go 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

Looking for a worthy cause for your annual giving?  Supporting FONL and public libraries is a great investment in our community, as 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.

Donate refreshments

FONL provides refreshments for volunteers during book sales to keep them going, so we would always welcome donations of non-perishable snack items, bottled water, or sodas.  For more info, please contact Carol Hoadley.
