Book Buy Book Donation Program

Through the years the West Des Moines Public Library’s collection has been built book by book. Now the challenge is to keep it current, up-to-date and a vital community resource – Book Buy Book.

We invite you to participate in our Book Buy Book program with a gift to the Library. Each $25 contribution provides your library with another resource!

We recognize each donated item - book, DVD, etc. - with a personalized bookplate.

  • 1 item = $25
  • 2 items = $50
  • 3 items = $75
  • 4 items = $100
