Book Donation Guidelines
We are very grateful for your donations. Without your generosity, we would not be able to raise money as we do at our BOOK NOOK and yearly book sales, which benefit all the many library programs we all enjoy.
Based on our experience with donations, we do have to impose some guidelines as to age and condition of books. Books must be in excellent condition: no missing or torn dust jackets, clean, no dust, no yellowed or mildewed edges/pages, not basement or attic stored.
As you collect books for donation, consider these rules:
• No travels guides, finance, medical/health diet books before 2018
• No audio cassettes or VHS tapes
• No magazines, encyclopedias or Reader’s Digest books
• No sets of books such as Time-Life
Please take book donations to the Farmington Library, 6 Monteith Drive during regular library hours. Please limit your donations to 2 bags or boxes at each visit.
Thank you!
Upcoming Meetings
The Farmington Artists Circle is proud to host its first Exhibit - Wonderland, at the Farmington Main Library on Monteith Drive from 11/15 - 12/18.
Come craft with us in the Maker Space. Meet other crafters at this in-person monthly tutorial. Learn what our equipment can do without having to know how to use any of it! Each craft features elements pre-made using one of the machines and is customizable. Each month uses a new piece of equipment.
As a bonus, you can ask our Maker Space experts questions about the space and equipment. Take a look at other projects and make a one-on-one appointment to have us walk you through it.
Perfect for beginners, ages 18 and up.
Make your own snow globes! Arrange the beautiful miniature decorations inside the globes, add water and glitter, then seal it. When shaken, the "snow" swirls around your custom winter scene.

At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome it's BYOBook (or browse the library shelves!). Settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not!
