Borrowing Procedures & Donations

Rose City Senior Center Members can borrow books as follows:

• Take books from shelves only. Please do not take books from baskets or boxes.
• Take what books you want to read and return them as soon as you have finished with them.
• Please place returned books in wicker baskets located in the Library.

The library is happy to accept donations as long as the books are:

• Published within the last 4 years.
• Clean with no stains or odors, and in new or nearly new condition.
• Mysteries, Fiction, Romance, Large Print, Autobiographies, Biographies, or Non-Fiction.

PLEASE DO NOT donate books that are mildewed, missing pages, dirty, smell or stained.

A clothing, shoes & accessories drop bin is now located in our parking lot (right side of building).  This bin is run by the organization, Apparel Impact, whose goal is to keep textiles out of landfills and increase community outreach by providing donated items to those in need.

Their main priority is to reuse and upcycle donated items, but items donated that are damaged and unwearable are downcycled into other products such as carpet, insulation and rags.  Drop bins located in Norwich have the potential of reducing 276 TONS of textiles from Norwich landfills annually!

Please keep in mind that Rose City Senior Center does not accept donations of clothing & shoes.   These items should be brought directly to the Drop Bin and not brought into the Senior Center.
