Nonprofit Literacy Partnership Program

Where: Leon County Main Library, 200 West Park Avenue, in the Bronough Street garage

The Leon County Public Library’s Shared Shelves: Nonprofit Literacy Partnership Program donates reading materials that have been withdrawn from the collection to local nonprofits and government agencies. The purpose of the program is to give these materials a second life and support literacy efforts around the community.

Eligible nonprofits, government agencies, and literacy-focused organizations can select materials in person, including books, books on CD, music CDs, and DVDs. Please bring your own boxes or bags.

Participants must provide their name, organization name, and email address, along with either a Department of Revenue tax-exempt certificate or documentation demonstrating the organization’s nonprofit literacy efforts. Acceptable documentation may include a mission statement, annual or long-range plan, or other official documentation that shows active, literacy-focused programming. 

Materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the garage doors are closed, all items for the week have been claimed.
