Now accepting donations of jewelry and accessories

Our annual
Jewelry and Accessories Sale isn't until April, but we will be accepting donations starting January 1 for the April sale. We accept fine, handcrafted, costume, new, gently used, and vintage jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pins and brooches, fashion sunglasses, purses and bags, scarves, hats, men's neckties, and more. We appreciate donations of gold or sterling silver items (even if they are broken or orphaned), and we love unique pieces with semiprecious or precious stones. We are happy to provide you with a donation card for tax purposes but please keep in mind that we cannot put a value on your donated items. Donated jewelry and accessories can be dropped off at the circulation desk during regular library hours. Thanks so much!
