التبرعات

A. Physical Donations

All donated and unsolicited materials become property of the library. These materials may be added to the library collection if they meet the library’s selection criteria. Items not needed for the collection may be given to Friends of the Library or other organizations to be used as fundraisers for the benefit of the library, donated to other non-profit community groups or organizations, or recycled. We will honor the wishes of donors whenever possible, but the library cannot guarantee that any donation will be added to the collection and cannot follow up with the donor regarding use of the donated items.

The library does not provide evaluations or appraisals of donations for tax deductions or other purposes, but will provide a receipt for any donation. Acceptance of donated materials that have been appraised elsewhere do not constitute the library’s endorsement of that appraisal. The library does not accept donations of any kind on temporary or permanent loan.

The library does not accept physical items (books, dvds, etc.) as honorary/memorial donations for bookplate recognition (see Monetary Donations).

B. Monetary Donations/Gifts

The library accepts monetary donations for the purchase of materials, including those made in honor or memory of a loved one. These donations may be made as cash or check only and must be accompanied by a Monetary Donations for Materials Form. Donors may request that funds go toward specific collections; however, final selection of titles purchased rests with the library. Due to the volume of donations, the library cannot follow up with donors regarding titles purchased.

Titles purchased in honor or memory of a loved one are eligible to receive bookplate recognition. Acknowledgement will be sent to the donor and to the honoree or family of the memorialized person(s). Library materials with bookplate recognition are subject to the same collection management selection criteria, use, and deselection criteria as are other items in the collection.

The library does not accept physical items (books, dvds, etc.) as honorary/memorial donations for bookplate recognition.

C. Independent Authors

Authors wishing to have their work added to the library’s collection may submit a Purchase Suggestion Form and/or donate a copy of their work for consideration. All suggested and donated items are subject to the same selection criteria that are applied to newly purchased materials. The library does not accept material for review. Due to the volume of submissions, the library cannot follow up with authors or return donated items.
