The FSDPL office is temporarily closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
The monthly FSDPL book sale for May has been canceled.
While we normally welcome donations of books and media, due to current public health recommendations,
we are temporarily unable to receive donations.
Our volunteers will not be at the University Heights Library during this public health crisis to accept book donations.
We have also locked the book donation box slots which are located on the Howard Avenue side of the University Heights Library.
If you would like to discuss a donation of books, please email info@friendsofsdpl.org (preferred) or call 619-542-1724.
We appreciate your understanding and your ongoing support of our Friends' book sale and libraries. We hope to welcome you back soon!
