Support the Christian County Library through Friends of the Library

How Your Donations Support the Library

Our quarterly book sales in Ozark, Sparta, Nixa, and Clever are an essential part of how Friends of the Library supports the Christian County Library. These sales are made possible thanks to the generous material donations we receive year-round from community members who clean out their shelves and share their once-loved items with us. Every sale is a chance to discover hidden gems, connect with fellow book lovers, and support vital library programs. We’re endlessly grateful to those who donate and shop. Because of you, one person’s dusty attic find becomes another’s new favorite read. Thank you for making our book sales a success and helping us turn stories into support for our libraries.

What We Accept

  • Paperback and hardback books in fair to excellent condition (all ages)
  • Audiobooks
  • Board games and puzzles
  • DVDs (please make sure discs are in the cases)
  • Bibles
  • Sheet music
  • Vinyl records

What We Do Not Accept

To help us make the best use of volunteer time and storage space, we're unable to accept the following items:

  • Textbooks older than five years
  • Encyclopedia sets
  • Reader's Digest (any format)
  • Outdated medical texts
  • Magazines, including National Geographic
  • VHS, music CDs, and cassette tapes
  • Items in poor condition (torn covers/pages, moldy or water-damaged, etc.)

Hosting book sales requires dedicated Friends of the Library members, volunteers, and donations from you! Money raised during annual book sales provides additional funding for materials and services not covered by the library's county budget. Please remember the Friends of the Library when clearing your shelves and considering charitable contributions.
