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.

FOL volunteers are available on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings to accept larger book donations. Contact FOL at folmississauga@gmail.com or call HMCL Customer Service at 905-615-3500 for information on how and when to deliver a large donation of books.

Mississauga branch libraries are currently accepting only smaller book donations. Check with your branch for further details on how to deliver a larger donation.
