What is Amazon Smile?

It’s a simple and automatic way for you to support Library Friends of Oak Bluffs every time you shop Amazon, at no cost to you. It’s the same selection, prices and shopping experience as Amazon, you’re just supporting the Library Friends, too.

How do I help?

Go to smile.amazon.com from your web browser or mobile device and select “Library Friends of Oak Bluffs” as the charity you wish to receive donations from eligible purchases you make. You only need to select the charity the first time…Amazon remembers it on subsequent purchases.

Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?

Yes, you can use the same account for Amazon.com and AmazonSmile.com. Your charity choice becomes part of your profile.

How much of my purchase does the Library Friends of Oak Bluffs receive?

The AmazonSmile Foundation donates 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible purchases to your selected charity at no cost to you. Occasionally, special promotions are run that increase the amount donated on certain purchases.

Does the LFOB see my purchases or how much I spent?

No, the Library Friends doesn’t see any purchasing information or donor information. The Library Friends just receives a quarterly, lump-sum electronic payment from AmazonSmile that includes money from all eligible purchases made during the previous quarter. No transactional information is included with the payment to the Library Friends.
