Hold on....not so fast.
Q: Can I donate books or other library materials to the CRPL?
A: No, not at this time. Due to lack of space, storage, processing equipment and other issues, we are not able to accept books or other donated library materials. Our librarians are working on an alternate plan for used books. In the interim, residents who cannot wait and need to donate used books now are directed to the Marion or Hiawatha public libraries.
I'm assuming this means you can earmark the donation for Cedar Rapids.
Q: If I can’t donate books and I can’t get into the building to help clean up, what CAN I do?
A: You can make a monetary donation to the...
