All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Cash, checks, credit card/Paypal accepted.

The Staunton Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) committed to supporting future capital needs for the library. As a 501(c)(3), gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. There are many ways to give, such as gift of cash, securities, or other assets. There are also several methods of planned giving, including making a bequest in a will or through life insurance.

Upcoming donation dates will be announced in the spring of 2026!

Donations are accepted at Christ Lutheran Church at 2807 North Augusta Street.  Please be sure to leave your donations with a Friend's volunteer on the designated collection days and we will make sure they are put to good use! Just a reminder, the library requests that you do NOT leave donated materials at the library or in the outside drop boxes. This causes a number of issues for the library staff.

Donations that we cannot accept: 

• Items with missing/torn covers, water damage, mildew or loose pages
• Reader's Digest Condensed Books
• Encyclopedias
• Magazines or Periodicals
• Items older than 5 years in these subjects: medical & health, travel, and computer and software manuals 

Become a library champion and sign up for advocacy alerts from the Virginia Library Association and the American Library Association.
