LIMITATION ON

HOW GIFTS ARE UTILIZED
Some gift books are added to our collection. Many books go to the
Friends of the St. Helena Public Library for their book sales which
benefit the library by providing funds for furniture, equipment and
other enhancements. Other books may be placed on our FREE BOOKS truck
for recycling into the community.
A receipt for donations is available upon request.
