Donate Financially

The Collier County Public Library greatly appreciates monetary donations of any size. If you’d like to make a monetary donation to the library, please make checks payable to the “Collier County Public Library” and either mail them to us at Headquarters Library or bring them to the Front Desk.

Donate Materials

Your generosity in donating books to our library helps fund the Library’s annual book sales and enhances the library collection. Donated materials must be brought in through the main entry at any branch location during operating hours. Books left outside are susceptible to weather and pest damage, and will be discarded. Anyone may donate monies towards a book or collection “in memory” of a loved one. The library places a book plate into the selected material and it may be shelved at your preferred branch location. Library staff are happy to select material that your loved one would appreciate.
