Gifts and Donations Policy
The Library is pleased to accept gifts from the community. Gifts are gratefully and willingly accepted as long as no restrictions are placed upon their use.
In all cases, donation items become the property of the Library. Acceptance of books and other library materials will be determined by the Library Director or Head Librarian on the basis of their suitability to the Library’s purposes and needs in accordance with the Library’s collection development policy. Items that are not added to the collection will be disposed of through the library book sale or other means.
Donations of money for the purchase of materials are always welcome. Suggestions of specific titles or subjects to be purchased with the donation will be honored whenever possible, if they meet the Library’s collection development policy or fulfill Library needs. Items purchased as memorials will contain the appropriate notation of the donor and person or persons being honored.
The Library does not appraise gifts or provide evaluations of gifts for tax deductions or other purposes, but will acknowledge receipt of gifts in writing if requested by the donor.
