The book fair was great and we got some fun kids books as well as a few selections for adults. The bathrooms are nice and clean and the staff is friendly. We are not members but enjoy browsing the different floors and wandering around.

Princeton Public Library | Sep 27, 2021

Hi Mr. Fairman. Thank you for donating. Please bring your books to the service entrance off Sylvia Beach Way (the driveway behind the library off Wiggins Street) during regular hours. (10-5 M, W, F, Sat; 10-7 Tue, Thu; 1-5 Sunday). Ring the bell at that entrance and an employee will assist you. Please see the updated donation guidelines here: https://princetonlibrary.org/support-us/friends/booksales/ Thank you again.

Can residents bring books up to donate to the library? When is it possible? Where should they be brought?

Huck Fairman | Sep 27, 2021
Ellen Harrison | Sep 27, 2021

Yes, the library is accepting donations. Bring them to the back door during library hours and ring the bell (if you are looking at the back of the library, it's the entrance on the right). I believe there is a limit of 5 boxes or bags, but check the library website for this info.

I ordered some books (3) before the closing of the library and was told I would be notified when they could be picked up. Can you please look into the request that was made under the membership name of Charles D. Allen. Thank you
