Donations

FOL needs donations to help us with our mission!


FOL accepts Books, DVDs, CDs, LPs, Puzzles, and Games in good condition and with all necessary parts.

Donations (of 6 boxes or less) may be made at the following locations at any time:

  • Donation Shed at United Grocery Store, 8010 Frankford Ave.
  • Donation Shed at United Grocery Store, 12815 Indiana Ave.
  • Donation Shed at Godeke Branch, 5034 Frankford Ave.

Donations are accepted at the Mahon Library rear loading dock Monday and Thursdays ONLY, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Please contact us by email for any other times. Our ability to accept donations is dependent on having volunteers available to accept them.
