THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION
Your donation is tax deductible.
The Lone Cone Library is unable to assign a dollar value to your donation.
Some donated items may be added to the Library’s collection, but the great majority are sold through the Colorado Library Consortium, or placed on the free rack in the lobby. You can greatly help the staff if you donate only saleable books and other media. It takes time, space and energy to sort out and recycle damaged, outdated and unsaleable material. Please recycle unsaleable materials and do not bring them to the library.
