There are many ways you can help the library keep providing invaluable services to your community.

- Give money
Volunteer
Volunteers are always needed to do anything from assisting librarians with shelving, fixing things that need repair and other fun jobs. To find out how you can help, contact the library at 603-286-8288 or spl3@metrocast.net.
Book Sale
The ongoing book sale is located in the front of the library by the New Non-Fiction book shelf. You will find books, videos, audiobooks and other media. There is usually no set price; we use the honor principle to allow you to pay what you feel the items are worth.
Donate
Donations are always appreciated, with the materials entering our collection or the book sale at the librarian’s discretion. We do ask that donated materials be no more than five years old and in good condition. For more information on donations, contact the library.
Give Money
Give directly to the Sanbornton Public Library: From time to time thoughtful patrons help the library with monetary gifts. We deeply appreciate this, and for more information please contact the director. The library director can give you our federal I.D. number upon request. The Sanbornton Public Library is a political subdivision of the State of New Hampshire and as such, all gifts to the Library are deductible for tax purposes to the donor (Internal Revenue Code, Sections 170(a)(1) and 170(c)(1). Thank you very much.
Set up a Trust Fund managed by the Trustees of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Sanbornton Public Library: For a tax deductible contribution, you can also donate funds by creating a Trust Fund through the Sanbornton Trustee of Trust Funds. These funds are given to the Town on behalf of the Library. An acknowledgement letter will be sent to the donor with the Town’s Tax ID, a governmental entity. We can provide you with an example of a donor letter and how to establish a trust fund.
Example: Letter a Donor would write to donate funds to the Town of Sanbornton for the benefit of the Library
