You are our COMPASS!

Donations
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations are accepted online or via cheque or cash. Donate online here. Tax receipts are available upon request.
Book Donatations
Yes! We do accept donations of gently used books and DVDs. Books & DVDs will be added to the library’s collection at our discretion. Books & DVDs not added to the collection will be added to our book sale or given away. The book sale raises money for the library. We do not accept VHS tapes.
While we love all books, our storage is limited, and we need to make the best use of it. With that in mind, please donate books and DVDs that are:
- in very good condition/have no scratches.
- by popular authors or about popular subjects
- newer (within 5 years) or classic.
Equipment for our Item Lending Library
If you have equipment that you would like to donate, please contact the library CEO, with a description of the item, condition and why you think it would be a good addition to the library’s collection.
Donation receipts for the value of the item are available upon request.
Program and Event Suggestion and Request Form
We want library programs to meet the needs and interests of our community. Suggestions for new programs are appreciated. We may not be able to meet requests immediately, but community suggestions that fall within the library mission will be incorporated into our planning and programming whenever possible.
