The Londonderry Leach Library welcomes donations of good used books. Used book donations are accepted in accordance with the gift policy. Books not added to the collection may be sold in the library’s used book store or given to another library. We regret that used books cannot be accepted with conditions for use. Questions regarding used book donations may be directed to Sally Nelson at 432-1127 or email at snelson@londonderrynh.org. It is recommended to call or contact us before bringing in donations. We do not provide pickup, and books should not be left outside the library or in the book return. A tax receipt will be provided if requested when you drop off the donations.

When offering items to the library please use the following guidelines to sort your books.

We are interested in hardcover books of these types: recent best sellers, fiction and non-fiction; mysteries; science fiction; biographies; history; current science; crafts, home repair/decorating; cooking; health and exercise; art/music; indoor and outdoor gardening; and children’s books in excellent condition.
