Huntsville Public Library

Library Services

Donated Materials:

Starting March 1, 2021, the Huntsville Public Library will accept donated items such as books, DVDs, music CDs, or books on CD with a signed Item Donation Form provided by the Library. We are only able to accept a maximum of ten (10) donated items at one time. The Library does not accept donations of items such as magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, textbooks, dictionaries, or items deemed to be in poor condition. The Library is also unable to accept items dropped off on library grounds or items donated through our Book Drops. For more information, please call 936-291-5472. We thank you for your generosity.

Additional ways to continue enjoying library resources:

Our collection of free ebooks and audiobooks are still available to patrons through Libby and OverDrive. To better assist our patrons and encourage literacy, the library will allow people who have less than $5 in fines to access this free digital resource.
