FOSSL appreciates all of its supporters – those who provide direct financial support or books and other items for our store inventory, and those who give of their time. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at FOSSLibrary@gmail.com and we are happy to discuss opportunities to participate in our mission.

FOSSL also participates in Kroger Community Rewards.
If you have a Kroger Plus card, you can support the library by enrolling in Kroger’s Community Rewards Program. To enroll, go to https://www.kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow/, sign into your account (or create one, if necessary), and select Friends of the Sandy Springs Library as your charitable organization. FOSSL’s organization number in the Kroger program is JK044. FOSSL will then earn money every time you shop at Kroger and swipe your Plus card.
If you previously enrolled in Kroger’s program, please visit https://www.kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow/ again and follow the same steps outlined above to keep your enrollment current. Kroger will continue to make donations for purchases only if members reenroll each year.

We appreciate when our donors bring books that are in very good condition. Please do not donate items that are stained, mildewed, dirty, torn, or marked up – our volunteers will have to spend a lot of time rehoming those items, as they are not suitable for our bookstore.
The following items are not acceptable for donation, and we suggest Goodwill lndustries or the Salvation Army as possible recipients: encyclopedias, textbooks, Readers Digest condensed books, audio cassettes, video tapes, and high school and college yearbooks.
