Your Rowan County Public Library exists and operates thanks to the contributions of people like you! Your volunteer work, donations, and other support help us to provide the best possible service to the citizens of Rowan County and to patrons from throughout the region.
Always remember: The easiest and most direct way to support your public library is just by using it! Borrowing items, taking advantage of our computers and internet, using our meeting rooms, and attending our programs are all completely free and show that those things are necessary to our community.
Of course, we always appreciate assistance of any kind! If you’d like to be a bigger part of how we serve, scroll down to learn about other ways to help.
Contact us if you want to partner with us or support us in any of the ways described here (or in some other way)! We're always happy to take your questions or even meet with our friends and neighbors.
Donations
We accept donations of any kind of material we lend, from books to DVDs to video games. We’ll gladly take any item that’s in good condition (no fire or water damage, no mold, etc.) and give you a receipt for tax purposes, if you want one. You can bring donations straight to the front circulation desk, if they’re small, or call ahead for a big donation and we’ll help you unload at the rear drive-through.
We also sometimes accept other types of donations for special or seasonal programs and projects, such as puzzles or art supplies. And of course, if you’d like to make a monetary donation, those are always a big help and are welcome year-round.
Volunteering
If you’re interested in volunteering at the library, reach out to us and we’ll be happy to try and work with you! We welcome helping hands from our community who want to shelve materials or assist with setting up or tearing down for programs. There may also be other things you can do, like reading during children’s story time or serving food during the holidays. There’s always some way to contribute to your Rowan County Public Library. Check out our volunteering page for applications and more information!
