Book Donations
The Hazel McCallion Central Library is now accepting both small and larger book donations. Small donations can be dropped off anytime. Just drop your book(s) into the large Donation Bin which is positioned against the stair railing on the left side of the P2 library entrance.
If you have a large donation (e.g., multiple cartons of books) contact us at folmississauga@gmail.com to arrange for our volunteers to be available to accept your donation. FOL volunteers are available on Wednesday or Saturday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. For security reasons, we ask that you do not leave cartons of books next to the donation bin unattended.
Mississauga branch libraries are currently accepting only smaller book donations. Check with your branch for further details on how to deliver a larger donation.
