Fundraising helps enable the Library to fulfil its mandate to provide free essential services, programs, and resources to community members, despite socioeconomic barriers.

Help us build the new Stamford Centre Library


As a registered charity, the Niagara Falls Public Library has raised funds for various projects over the years but never on a consistent basis. While government funding covers overhead expenses like operations, administration, infrastructure and maintenance, donations and sponsorships from our community will help expand library services and spaces well beyond what the operating and capital budgets can cover. Our need for community donations and sponsorships is now greater than ever due to budget constraints, inflation and rising costs caused by supply chain issues.

Will I get a tax receipt for my donation?

Niagara Falls Public Library is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization that issues receipts for income tax purposes. Donors who give $20 or more will receive a receipt.

Does the Library accept donations of books?

Please review Section 6 of our Collection Development Policy on Gifts & Donations before deciding whether you would like to donate the material to us.

You can either mail the material to us or drop it off at our main location on Victoria Avenue.
Please contact us at 905-356-8080 before donating more than 10 items.

Donations are accepted under the following conditions:

  • Books are only accepted at our main location during open hours.
  • Material must be in very good condition and less than five years old.
  • Only English and French books, CDs and DVDs in very good condition will be accepted.
  • Any other material, including magazines, computer books, textbooks, encyclopedias and multilingual material will not be accepted by staff.

If your materials don't meet these criteria please consider donating them to other non-profit organizations in Niagara Falls.
