Gift Policy

The Library accepts gifts and funds for materials using the same criteria it applies to purchases. However, the Library reserves the right to make use of donations as materials for exchange or sale in order to best strengthen the collection. The Library determines the cataloging, classification, housing and circulation policies of gift materials.
The Library will acknowledge donations in writing, but is legally prohibited from determining the value of a gift for tax or other purposes. A list of titles will be provided if requested by the donor at the time of the gift.
