Do You Have
Used Books, DVDs and CDs?
The Danbury FRIENDS need your book, DVD, CD donations, but please don’t drop them off the library! Please take your donations to 30 Main Street. That's the Newtown Savings Bank building, just down the street south of the library, across from
Price Rite. Take your donation down to the Lower Level, and put it underneath the mailboxes, right across from the elevator. Tuesday mornings, there is usually a volunteer who can help you with multiple boxes. Just knock on the Friends door; a sign on the
lower level points to our sorting room location.
