The Library appreciates the donations of materials. Acceptance of donations are governed by the same principles and criteria applied to the selection of an item for purchase. No conditions may be imposed relating to any donation after its acceptance by the Library. Books and other materials, not placed in the collection, will be donated to the Friends of Perry Public Library for disposal through their regular book sales. The Library gives receipts for material donations received but will not place a value on the items. Donations can be brought to the Circulation Desk anytime that the Library is open.
The Perry Public Library accepts donations in memory of someone who has passed away, in honor of a special occasion (i.e. birthday, anniversary, etc.), or just because.
When making a recommendation for the use of the gift, the following parameters apply:
If the donation is for the purchase of library materials (i.e. book, CD, DVD, etc), a bookplate will be placed in the front of each item with the information as provided on the form.
Gifts and Memorials may be highlighted in the library newsletter, in the local newspapers, and/or on the library website. If it is preferred that the donation be anonymous, please make a note of that on the form.
The Library sincerely appreciates the receipts of gifts by will for general or specific purposes. All such gifts are tax-deductible. All bequests received by the library will be placed into the Building Fund, unless specifically designated for other Library Board approved projects.
