The Alta Community Library happily accepts donations of books and funds year-round. Please do not leave donations in the book drop or the vestibule, and bring them into the circulation desk when we are open. We accept gently used book donations, and they may be placed in the collection, used in programming, circualted in our Little Free Library (located in front of Alta City Hall), or used in our annual book sale.
The library happily accepts monetary donations at any time. If you would like to donate a large amount in memorium, please speak with the director for more information.
The library maintains an Amazon Wishlist of items and materials that support our collection and programming year-round. You can view the Wishlist here, and purchases ship directly to the Library.
The library does not accept mildewed, dirty, or damaged materials. We do not accept magazines, textbooks, loose book pages, sheet music, encyclopedias, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, or annuals. These materials may be recycled at BV County Recycle.
