 Donations are always accepted and are not always financial. With recent major budget cuts most libraries are finding it difficult to keep up with patrons' needs. To compensate for the lack of funding, the Volunteer Friends for the Mason Library (VFML) must find ways to increase funding. One way is through our quarterly book sales. We will be adding new events this year; keep checking our website for updates. You can also help with a financial donation.  1. Donate gently used hardback and paperback books/complete encyclopedia sets/CD's, DVD's, and VHS tapes at the front counter of the library. We no longer accept the following: outdated textbooks and manuals, encyclopedias with missing volumes. If you wish, you may ask for a tax exemption form on which you will provide your name/address and list the number of items being donated. Donated materials are screened by a member of the library staff to determine whether an item: (1) is one that the library does NOT have and should be in the collection; (2) is in better condition than the one currently in circulation; or (3) is a highly circulated item for which the library needs an additional as back-up. If none of the above is true, then the items come to the Friends for our Book Sales. 2. Donate your time. We are always looking for volunteers for our events. Please contact us or check with the library staff to see when and how your time could help. 3. Donate your ideas and energy. Our organization is always looking for fresh ideas that come from motivated members. We accept cash or checks. Remember that VFML is a 503(c) non-profit organization; your donation is tax deductible. Ask your employer to match your donation. Many businesses give matching funds for each dollar donated by their employees Thank you for your support! | Return Home | About Us | Book Sales | Essay Winners 2010 | FAQ Page | Contact Us | Make A Donation | |
