Donations:
After careful consideration, the Auburn Public Library Advisory has stopped accepting donations of books, DVDs, CDs or other media as of February 2020.
Why A Change?
While the library is grateful for all the donations it has received, the volume of donations has increased over the years in tandem with the community's growth. A considerable amount of staff time has gone into receiving, screening, sorting and boxing these donations. The Advisory Board believes the time spent processing donations could be better dedicated to assisting patrons, processing new materials or a number of other tasks that enhance the vitality of the library.
We have created a list here of many worthwhile organizations that will continue to accept donations. Please contact the respective agency regarding its needs and polices prior to making a donation.
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Master Plan
On October 19, 2016, a public meeting was held to gather information about the Auburn Public Library (APL). Key notable “wants” from citizens and participants during this meeting included:
Walking trails/pedestrian connectivity.
Technologically advanced/computer usage lab.
Outdoor plaza/courtyard/secure space.
Youth services/story time and tutoring space.
Update parking lots to be more accommodating.
ADA modifications - make aisles wider, lower book shelves.
Small Business Center to allow use of printing and copying.
Expand the facility’s space to provide more room for citizens.
