The Friends of the North Kingstown Free Library accept and maintain all book donations. 

All donations become the property of the library and cannot be returned. Donations may be added or removed from our collection following the criteria of the library collection development policy. Donations may also be sold in the Library Book Nook.

If you need a receipt for tax purposes, the library will provide one. Federal regulations prohibit the library from giving estimates of value for donated materials.

The library cannot pick up donations. Donations are accepted at the library during normal business hours on the loading dock on the far right side of the building. Do not leave donations in the library book drop.
