Volunteer: Calling All Cooks!

At our location we serve dinner 4 days a week from Monday-Thursday. Sadly, we are suffering from a lack of volunteers! We need people who are up to the task of cooking for 35 people. Dinner is served from 6-7, but our ovens are notoriously slow so we also accept meals cooked offsite, or frozen. We encourage anyone who is cooking dinner to sit and eat with our families and share stories. If you're interested in helping out please let us know!

Volunteer: Book and Media Drive

The Friends of Nashua Public Library accept books and media to resell. This is the main way that we raise funds. We also serve as the feeder service to the Little Free Libraries throughout the city.

You can take your donations to the Circulation Desk at the Library.

We are most happy to receive items in good condition, in particular:

Current and former bestsellers in excellent condition—both fiction and nonfiction Classics in good condition Fiction paperbacks in like‐new condition Children’s titles in good condition (both books and movies sell out at most sales) Really, really new unmarked textbooks (within 3 years of the publication date) Audiobooks—another huge seller! CDs and DVDs—purchased, not copied

We don’t accept:

Magazines Encyclopedias Reader’s Digest Condensed books Items in poor condition—mildew odor, yellowed or missing pages, broken bindings Textbooks and travel books more than three years old Dated nonfiction VHS videotapes Cassette tapes Medical or legal references more than three years old.

We have found over the years that these items are not needed in the Library collection, and they just don’t sell well in our book sales. Rather than spending time and energy lugging them into the library for us to throw away, we hope you will just do this yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to discard a book that you once enjoyed, but is no longer in demand or useful.
