A contribution to your Library is a lasting tribute.
Donate today using Canada Helps.
You can choose to donate once, make a monthly recurring donation, or maximize your charitable deduction by making a gift of securities.
You may choose whether you want your donation to go toward:
- General Operations (books, programming, and staffing)
- Moving Through, our Truth & Reconciliation project
- The Wolfville Library Branch Capital Campaign
Donations of Books and DVDs
AVRL accepts gifts of books and other materials.
We only accept donations of material in excellent condition, and produced in the past 5 years*.
These include:
- Recent bestsellers and books that have been published in the last 5 years
- Movies (DVDs, Blu-ray only)
- Audiobooks (CD or MP3 only)
The Library does not accept magazines, encyclopedias, textbooks, yearbooks, or Reader’s Digest condensed books.
*Donations must be given with the understanding that should the library choose to not use the materials, they may be sold (with the proceeds going to the library) or failing that, disposed of as the library sees fit. The Library is unable to return donations.
All donations of gifts in kind (used books, furniture or equipment, etc.) are subject to official acceptance by the Regional Library.
Official receipts for gifts in kind, for the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the item will only be issued if:
- Direct communication regarding the donation takes place with Regional Library staff.
- It is agreed that a particular gift is welcome.
A Fair Market Value (FMV) will be determined by a qualified library staff person if the value is less than $1000.
If an item is purchased by the donor for the purposes of donating it to the library, the sales receipt will be used to determine the amount of the receipt to be issued.
