Gifts & Donation Policy

To donate books or other materials to the Libraries, donors are asked to first submit a list of materials being offered. The list should contain the the title of the item, author’s name, and the year of publication. The Acquisition Librarian, in consultation with subject specialists, will review the list and select items that fit the mission of the Library. The Librarian will then contact the donor and state which titles will be accepted.

Under Federal law the Library cannot offer any evaluation of the worth of any donation. The Acquisitions Librarian will, upon request, provide a letter acknowledging the receipt of the items and the general subject areas of the material.

For the Donor: To simplify the process please review the potential donations and eliminate any of the following before submitting the list:

• Textbooks

• Computer books older than two years

• Popular paperback/hardcover novels

• Magazines such as National Geographic, etc.

The Library reserves the right to process or dispose of any donated materials in an appropriate manner.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact Acquisitions Librarian, Suzanne Nault, 978-934-4592.
