How to Donate to the Crowell Public Library

1. Join the Friends of the Crowell Public Library - This is a major support group for the library, donating over $50,000 annually to fund adult and children's books, materials, and programs. Memberships and book shoppe sales allow them to maintain this level of support.
2. Contribute to the San Marino Public Library Foundation - Originally established to raise community funds to build the new Crowell Public Library, they now focus on long-term library projects which will need major funding. They are currently working to establish an endowment to sustain the library through the coming decades.
3. Contribute to the purchase of any of the items on the staff wish list. These are items the staff has identified as important to creating a positive library environment. Many of the items are expensive and we welcome partial donations towards their purchase.
4. Purchase a book from our Amazon.com wish list. We urge you to buy selected titles from any bookstore in the area; patrons do NOT have to purchase from Amazon. We especially encourage support of Vroman's and San Marino Toy and Book.
5. Volunteer with the Friends or the Library!
6. Donate gently used books for resale in the Friends Book Shoppe. Donations can be brought to the library during any of our open hours. Books, DVDs and VHS tapes are welcomed; no magazines, please!
