Types of Donations

Gifts

     Gift books are books purchased with a donation from an individual or organization, or are books from a person or group that is new or in almost new condition. The Library will acknowledge the donation with a bookplate on the book. Gifts may be given for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries or graduations.

Endowments
     Income from money given to endowment funds is used to purchase books or other Library materials. These gifts are also acknowledged by a bookplate. The donor must give at least $1,000 to be a an “named” endowment. This is a gift that keeps giving. We can purchase books from these funds for years to come.
