MATERIALS
DONATION POLICY
The Thomas
Crane Public Library welcomes donations of materials or money for materials
by groups, individuals, citizens of the city or beyond, foundations,
corporations, etc. These gifts must meet standard criteria; any materials
received may be added to the collection, exchanged, given to other libraries,
discarded or sold at the Friends of the Library book sales, the proceeds
of which help pay for library programs.
The library
does not accept donations of encyclopedia sets, old textbooks, highlighted
books, magazines or LP recordings.
The library
encourages bequests and memorials to honor those in the community who
have been loyal patrons and supporters of the library.
Groups
or collections of materials cannot necessarily be kept together as a
group, and the library will most likely not be able to accept such gifts
because of the financial costs of handling them.
The library
cannot be responsible for the appraisal of gifts for income tax or other
purposes.
Gift items
will be acknowledged and may be designated by a bookplate.
