Friends of Sherwood Public Library

We are accepting donations of books at Sherwood Public Library. We appreciate your donations!  The sale of those items funds many great programs at the Library (e.g., books for the Paperback Pals, Teen Book Club, etc.).  If you’d like a tax receipt for your donation, just ask at the front desk. 

Donate directly to our non-profit at www.sherwoodfol.org. Thanks for supporting the Sherwood Public Library!  We appreciate you!
