Your donation of any blood type can help to save a life.

Update #1: The Red Cross is coordinating with the Library to host blood drives on a 56+ day schedule: that means that each time you give blood at the Library, you will be eligible to give blood at the next scheduled drive! How convenient to be able to come back to the Library for all of your donations. The next drive after this will be Wednesday, July 10, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Update #2: The American Red Cross is now welcoming more donors through updated FDA donation eligibility guidelines that eliminate longstanding broad, time-based deferrals based on sexual orientation. Under this new donor screening process, all donors answer the same eligibility questions regardless of gender or sexual orientation and will be assessed for blood donation based on individual risk factors, not on sexual orientation.
