  2. Donate NEW (or almost new), rare, historical or significant BOOKS or materials
    • Where possible the Library will attempt to add the materials to their collections. If this is not possible, the materials will be sold at branch book sales or given to the Friends of Toronto Public Library to sell at their bookstore and sales. All proceeds of these sales benefit the Library. All materials not sold or deemed unfit for sale will be given to other charities or recycled.
