New and Used Materials

Donations of new and used books, records, art, DVDs, and other media are accepted at the Library during regular hours all through the year. Please place donations at the circulation counter near the main entrance of the library.

Many donated materials are added directly to the Library collection. Others are used in the Friends’ book sale and proceeds are used to support the Library. Don’t forget that you will receive a tax receipt when donating!

We are excited to launch a fundraising campaign to help establish a $10,000+ fund inside the West Lafayette Public Library Foundation.

This fund will allow the Friends to grow their investment in the Library and continue to assist wherever needed.

If you would like to help contribute financially to the fund, please click the button below. When making your donation, please include “Friends Fund” in the note with the donation to specify that you want this money to go towards our new Fund.

The Fund is being designed to help address programming, materials, and other project needs, allowing the Friends to expand on the work we have done through our easy to use Microgrants program.

Past Microgrants have supported:

  • The Dune Book-to-Movie Discussion and Viewing Group
  • Winter Reading Program Prizes and End of the Program Party
  • Summer Reading Program Bags
  • Game of Thrones Trivia Night
  • Adult Craft Nights
  • End of the Semester Study Snacks
  • Create Your Own Holiday Cards Table

Direct Financial Support

Each month, the Friends donate time, energy, and funds to the West Lafayette Public Library for the purchase of new books, movies, magazines, and other media for the community’s collection.  We are asking Friends to help assure that each month we can meet our goals by donating directly to the Friends.

Every dollar helps.  Each dollar is tax-deductible.

One-Time Donation

A one-time donation allows the Friends to support a wide variety of efforts. If you believe in the Friends and our goal to promote our community asset, the West Lafayette Public Library, please consider donating a one-time contribution via PayPal below.
