One-time or Monthly Giving

There are many ways to provide support for the BRL.  Monetary donations may provide for a specific need of the Library, such as Caldecott or Newbery Award books; books in honor of a friend, mentor, or child; or a magazine subscription of particular interest.  Contributions may also provide additional program support including literacy for children and adults; book clubs and author talks; music, art and film series; and community outreach. 

​Donations of all sizes are welcome and appreciated, payable by check to Basalt Regional Library District, 14 Midland Ave. Basalt CO 81621.  

Basalt Regional Library is recognized as a tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 170(c)1, and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Basalt Regional Library Foundation Events

The Foundation​ presents author conversations throughout the year in addition to the annual spring Garden Tour.  All proceeds from Foundation events support the book collections of the Library. Please watch for announcements of upcoming events on our website and monthly calendars.

Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Library are community volunteers responsible for combing through all the books, CDs and DVDs donated to the Library.  They collect, price, shelve and sell these items to raise funds for the purchase of new books and for the Library “Wish List”.   

The Friends’ Book Store sells these high quality used books, CDs and DVDs for adults, young adults, and children.  Please visit the Book Store on your way into the Library and check out the Book of the Month sale.  Our books make great gifts! 

Book, CD and DVD Donations

Throughout the year, the Friends of the Library accept donations of books, CDs and DVDs that are in good condition. One box per patron at a time, please!   Please check with the Circulation Desk to see when donations will be accepted, or contact us at 970-927-4311.
