Material Donations

The library may accept gifts of books, records, and other materials. Such gifts will be
added to the collection in accordance with the standards ordinarily used by the library in
selections of materials and with the understanding of the donor that items not deemed
suitable for the Library’s collection will be sold, rehomed, donated, or recycled at the
discretion of the Director. Special collections, such as historical materials, books having
more than literary value, or manuscripts, will be accepted by the library only if provision
can adequately be made for their care and use. The Library also welcomes monetary gifts,
bequests, or memorials so long as their use is not restricted by conditions that would
conflict with the standard practices and policies of the library.

We do not accept items that are…

  • Damaged or smell
  • Textbooks
  • Encyclopedias
  • Audio or Video Tapes
  • Records
