There are four great ways for you to support the Friends of Ipswich Public Library:
1. Donate Money
Or make a check out to: Friends of Ipswich Public Library and mail it to this address
Friends of the Ipswich Public Library
PO Box 157
Ipswich, MA 01938
3. Donate Books
Donations to the Book Shop can be brought to the library on a designated Donation Day. We no longer allow donations to be dropped off at any other day or time.
Donation Days occur on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 4pm-6pm in the Book Shop which is inside the library on the main floor. Bring your donations to the Book Shop during the drop off period and a member of the Friends will be available to receive your donation.
Our greatest need right now is for fiction books published within the last 5-8 years.
The Friends Book Shop does not accept the following categories of materials as we cannot sell them:
- Mildewed, discolored, dirty, or torn materials
- Books missing covers or pages
- Trade Journals, Textbooks, Magazines, and Coloring books
- Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, and Reference books
- Obsolete Technology Books
- Cassettes, CDs, and VHS
IMPORTANT: Please do not leave book sale donations outside the library, in the book drop, or in the Book Shop at any other time.
4. Buy Used Books
The Friends of the Library Book Shop sells high quality, gently-used books and DVDs at bargain prices. Proceeds from the Book Shop are used to pay for Library programs and museum passes. The Book Shop is located inside the library on the Main Floor and is open during all regular library hours.
