Our 12th annual Coat Drive is officially underway! 🧥🧤🧣

Flower Memorial Library is collecting gently used winter wear including coats, snow pants, hats, gloves/mittens, boots, and scarves for our 12th Annual Coat Drive! All sizes for adults and children are welcome. Please do not donate any everyday clothing like shirts, pants, etc.

Patrons are welcome to take one item per person from our donations. The Coat Drive rack can be found on the Main Floor by the Circulation Desk.

Because this is donation-based, the sizes and items we carry will vary each day. All items will be taken on a first come, first served basis. No reservations or holds can be made.

The Coat Drive is from the end of October 2026 to March 2027 - weather dependent. Patrons are welcome to donate items and take items from our Coat Drive during this time.

Have questions? Give us a call at 315-785-7705.
