One Day Book & Media Donation Drive to be Held at Matawan Aberdeen Library

Donate gently used books, CDs, DVDs and audio books to the Matawan Aberdeen Public Library.

The Friends of the Matawan Aberdeen Public Library will host a book and media drive from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, according to a post on the Matawan Aberdeen Library's Facebook.

Storage is limited due to the ongoing construction at the library, so the library will only be collecting items during the drive, not before or after. The Friends of MAPL will have a table stationed behind the DVD rack.

Donated books must be clean with bindings and covers intact, according to the post.
