Make a Gift
Friends of Chestnut Hill Library is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your donation supports our local library branch. Your support now will ensure that we are able to sustain our vital programming and support accessible, community-based library services.
Members of the Friends of Chestnut Hill Library sustain our work. When you become a member, you contribute to Chestnut Hill’s most vibrant and essential community center: the public library.
Donate Books
We accept book donations every Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. at 97 Bethlehem Pike. Books should be in good condition. If you would repurchase the book or give it to a friend, that’s the type of book we’d love to have. We cannot accept textbooks, encyclopedias, law books, Bibles, magazines, mass market paperbacks, ex library books, romances, yellowed, water-stained or underlined books. We are currently looking for donations of children’s picture books, graphic novels, and recent best sellers.
Volunteer
Hilltop Books volunteers staff the store, sort books, and support onsite and pop-up events. We also care for the library garden on Germantown Avenue and go the extra mile to stock Little Libraries across the area.
