The Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center can transform a single blood donation into a group of components that can save the lives of up to three patients. Donors who give blood are the heart of what they do, and they truly appreciate the life-saving gifts of donors. Take advantage of our comfortable and convenient location to donate blood right here at the library! You can sign up online or call (800) 747-5401 to schedule a time. Help make the library's blood drive a big community success!
