The Sorting Place

If you have books to donate for the book sale, The Sorting Place is where they go. We appreciate your donations as this is an integral part of our fund raising.

Location: 1010 West 10th Street.

Open Wednesdays from approximately 10AM to 2PM.

Book drops are available at The Sorting Place for donations only.  Please continue to return borrowed library books to the library!

Become a volunteer

Volunteers are absolutely necessary to carry out the work of The Friends.  We have no paid staff, so we rely exclusively on our members to perform the services necessary for our success in supporting the Library.

Volunteer opportunities vary according to how much time the volunteer can give and range from a few hours per year to several hours per week. Contact us at 970-962-2712 or by e-mail by going to our Contact Page.
