GIFT BOOK PROGRAM
Our Gift Book Program offers a unique way to recognize the special people in your life.
Start them off right. Is there a new baby in the family? Announce the birth with a book in
baby’s name - a great way to bring babies and books together!
Celebrate with them. Give a gift book in celebration of a birthday, anniversary, graduation,
or any special occasion.
Recognize them. Thank a volunteer for their efforts, commemorate the tenure of a longtime club or board member, or recognize the retirement of a business associate by
donating a book in their name.
Remember them. Honor the memory of someone special with a book in their name. You
can ensure that person’s interests will live on at the Library. Were they a history buff, an
avid gardener, golfer or a spectacular cook? You can remember them with an addition to a
subject area that matches their special talents.
How do I donate a book? To donate to the Gift Book Program, use the attached form to
make your tax-deductible gift (minimum suggested amount $25.00). A new book will be
selected by one of our Librarians to honor the person or event of your choice. Your gift
book will be identified with a book plate. An acknowledgement card announcing your gift
will be sent to the individual you name. Your name and the honoree’s name will also be
listed in our newsletter, unless otherwise specified.
Yes, I would like to honor someone special with a gift to the Library
