Arlington Public Library's Holiday Gift Nook Event Accepting Donations

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington Public Library is seeking donations from the public for its second annual Holiday Gift Nook event.

All eight library branches in Arlington are accepting small giftable items, like jewelry or games, in excellent condition. The public can drop off the gift items in the large white Gift Nook donation boxes located near the entrances to each library branch.

The deadline for donations is Oct. 31.

Items should be smaller than a microwave. Examples of gift items include small toys, jewelry, games or decorative items. Giftable items need to be in excellent condition. Breakable items should be well-protected. No food will be accepted.

Residents who wish to donate books should provide them to Friends of Arlington Library, which holds book sales during the year.

On Dec. 2-3, the library will be holding a free Holiday Gift Nook Shopping Party in the Quincy Room at Arlington Central Library.

To participate in the Holiday Gift Nook Shopping event, residents should pick up a coupon before entering the shop and exchange it for one item. They may return for additional tickets, while supplies and inventory last.

A gift-wrapping station to personalize and wrap gifts will also be available.
