Book Donations

FMTL is always looking for donations of books for our book sales.

  • You can drop off books in our shiny new book donation bin in the vestibule of the main entrance to the Van Pelt and Opie Library any time the library is open.
  • If you have a large donation and wish to drop off a number of boxes, please call the Library Service Desk at (906) 487-2508 when you arrive, and a staff member will meet you at the loading dock to help you unload.
  • If you would like us to retrieve a large donation or need help moving boxes, please email Steve Walton at sawalton@mtu.edu to arrange a pick up.
Volunteers

FMTL is always looking for volunteers to serve on the Board as well as to help at the Book Sales.  Contact us if you would like to help in any way.
