Can I donate books to the library?
Answer
We accept gifts that complement and develop our collection. The Collection Development Librarian reserves the right to evaluate donations to ensure that they are relevant and may refuse items that do not fit the library’s selection criteria or have processing costs that exceed their worth.
The library does not accept textbooks.
Materials have to be in good condition. No materials highlighted, marked-up, outdated or complimentary desk copies/publishers’ samples are accepted. We do not take items already in the collection unless a duplicate copy is needed.
Offered materials not added to the collection will be donated to a library exchange program or discarded. The delivery of gifts is the responsibility of the donor. The library provides the donor with a letter acknowledging gifts for tax deduction purposes by request. The library cannot legally estimate a donation’s value.
