Book Donations

Materials donated to the library must meet the same standards as other materials for inclusion in the library's collection.  If a donated item is not added to the collection of BPPL, it may be given to another library, placed in the library's book sale or discarded.  The revenue from any item sold will be used to benefit the library.  All gifts are accepted with the understanding that someday it may be necessary to deselect the item(s).  The library cannot commit to perpetually housing a donation. 

With the limited storage space that we have, we are now accepting donations ONLY ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH from 10AM - 5PM.

The Library is happy to accept both adult and children's fiction and non-fiction titles as well as CDs/DVDs, games and puzzles in good condition.

JOURNEY OF FAITH, CHALLENGES, AND COURAGE: LOCAL AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

FORMER NBA PLAYER, ARMON “HAMMER” GILLIAM’S MOTHER’S TESTIMONY OF GOD’S LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS

We may not always understand the plan or will of God and what He allows in our lives; however, there is hope on the other side of every trial life has to offer! "Journey of Faith, Challenges, and Courage" is the testimony of how one's character can be shaped through life events - good or bad. The voice of this beautiful matriarch, Alma Gilliam, exudes warmth, faith, strength, and courage through every page as she chronicles some of the most impactful life events she has endured. As she shares her testimony of triumph over racism, loss, and unfathomable pain, you will cry, you will laugh, you will rejoice, but most importantly you will be inspired to believe that God's hand will carry you through any life challenge if you just choose faith!
