How We Help the Library

Library staff looks over the donations and chooses items that enhance or replace the collection. The library gets about 60% of their collection from donations.
 
The Friends then place books in four different categories, which the help of some advanced technology.
 
Most go up on the shelves to be sold for for $1-12. These include textbooks, paperbacks, craftbooks, etc.
 
Books which are worth more or are collectible are either put in the special sale room which includes Western/Wyoming, autographed, and other topics which have proven to sell well -- this is a fun room to browse with some real gems -- or are sent to a dealer to sell.
 
High dollar books (over $50) goes to an individual who sells the high dollar books on line and takes a small cut. We have increased the financial donation to the library because of this service.
 
Books that are worn or otherwise damaged beyond reasonable use or that have no value are recycled.
