Support the Library

Become a Library Friend - Friends of the Library

This group has a rich tradition of providing funding and support for books and wonderful seasonal programs, summer reading programs, and other special events that enhance the services that our library can provide.

Over the past several years, Friends of the Library have provided over $50,000 in support of the library. If you are interested in joining the Friends of the Saint Peter Public Library, please fill out the membership form here and return it to the library.  

Book Donations at the Library

Book donations are accepted the first week of each month. Books accepted will be reviewed by staff and may be placed in our collection, donated to our on-going book sale, or donated to third-party organizations.

Items we do not accept include:

• Textbooks

• Reader’s Digest condensed books (or other condensed books and abridgments)

• Encyclopedia sets (or any other type of reference book)

• Collections of periodicals (example: a National Geographic collection, 1950-Present)

• Records or albums or VHS tapes

• Damaged items (water damage, torn pages, broken bindings, discolorations, mold, musty odor, etc.)

There are times when we cannot accept items due to limited space.  Please check other alternatives. Many nursing homes, thrift stores, and area correctional facilities also accept book donations.
