Support Your Library

The Salt Lake City Public Library is one of the premier libraries in the nation. Public funding provides for day-to-day operation, and community support allows us to flourish and grow. Here are ways you can help.

DONATE TO THE Salt Lake City Library Foundation

Your tax-deductible cash donation is always welcome and may be given directly to the Salt Lake City Library Foundation a 501(c)(3) organization. Your donation will enrich, not replace, traditional tax-based funding and allow us to expand cultural programs and services.

The online form can also be used to make payments for meeting room reservations.

Donate Materials

The Friends of The City Library accepts donations of gently-used books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, and comic books. These items are then sold, and the proceeds fund a variety of Library projects including programs and exhibits, materials, outreach events, computer equipment, furnishings, and more.

You can drop off donations at any City Library location. Large donations (multiple boxes) should be taken to the Main Library. If you need help unloading, please call 801-524-8200 to make advanced arrangements.

Donations are tax-deductible. We will provide a proof-of-donation receipt upon request. Please consult with an accountant or tax preparer to determine the value of your donation.

NOTE: We cannot accept books with time-sensitive topics, such as business, tax, investment, computers/software, textbooks, etc. For questions and more information, please call 801-524-8238.
