Your Donations Are Welcome!
The Friends of the Oceanside Public Library welcome your donations of gently used books, as well as DVDs and CDs (opened and unopened), magazines and puzzles.
Some donated items become part of the Library’s collection, while others are sold at Jane and Evie’s Used Books; at the Friends’ bookstores at the Civic Center and Mission Branch Library; at the Friends’ Amazon bookstore; and at Oceanside’s Thursday Farmers Market. These sales are a crucial source of support for the Library’s special events, programs for all ages and the purchase of new books and other materials.
