Why
Do We Seek Private Gifts?
|
Honors
and Memorials
|
Sponsor
books or a journal to commemorate any occasion.
Celebrate
someone's graduation, mark a birthday, recognize
an achievement, or honor a retiree! Groups or
individuals may suggest specific books (subject
to library approval), specify a discipline or
topic, or choose a title from the library's want-list.
A gift bookplate in the book names the donor (if
an individual), the occasion, and the person or
event being honored. A card notifying the individual
that a book has been given in their name is sent.
Larger bequests can also be made.
|
| The
adopt-a-journal program applies the same
gift principle to specific periodicals,
over a specific length of time. You may
underwrite the annual subscriptions to one
or more of the academic journals, trade
publications, or leisure-reading magazines
that the library has or wants in its collection.
To limit bookkeeping costs, we do ask that
such gifts cover subscriptions for three
or more years. When the issues are bound
at the end of the volume, a bookplate with
the donor's name is placed in the front,
just as with a book gift. |

It
Makes a Difference
Friends
and neighbors contributed over $2,000 to
buy books for the Regional History Room
in memory of Virginia C. Vaughan.

|
Contributions
may be made to the Library's general endowment
as well. There your gift joins other contributions
in an endowment to provide updated material for
the collection. A memorial gift to the general
endowment will still have a gift card sent to
the individual in whose honor the donation was
made. Gifts may consist of cash in any amount,
or convertible securities.
Here
is how you can make a memorial in someone's honor.
