Cleaning out your bookshelves?

Getting organized for the new school year? If you have books you no longer need, consider donating them to Stacks!

Stacks Bookshop is located in the basement of the Amesbury Public Library, and there's a donation cart right outside the entrance where you can drop off your books.

A few quick reminders:
✔️ Books should be clean and in good condition
🚫 No textbooks, please

And while you're here, don't forget that Stacks gift certificates make a great gift for the book lover in your life!

Your donations and purchases help support the Friends of the Amesbury Public Library and fund programs, services, and resources at the library. 💛
