Support Decatur Public Library

Decatur Public Library is funded by a combination of City, County and State funds.   You can support your library by contributing in any of the following ways:

DONATE

 The Library will gratefully accept your used books or magazines for our Friends’ Book Sale Room.

We will also accept donations of money in any amount.  You may donate money in the following ways:

  • By mail (please indicate if you require a receipt)

Decatur, AL  35601

  • In person:  Just stop by the Public Services Desk and tell them you’d like to make a donation!

 Shop the Used Book Room

 Our Book Sale Room is sponsored by the Friends of the Decatur Public Library. It features gently used books donated to the friends by our patrons. Its a great way to help the library, since all of the proceeds are used by the Friends to support Decatur Public Library in various ways.

 The book sale room is open during regular operating hours, but is closed on Mondays and Wednesday from 1pm to 3pm for restocking.   The book sale room closes at 15 minutes prior to Library closing time.
