Adopt-A-Book Program

The Library's Adopt-a-Book Program provides a unique opportunity to combine a love of books and learning with the aspiration to support library development and at the same time to honor, celebrate or memorialize the special people in our lives.

An attractive bookplate is placed inside the front cover of each adopted book noting the person(s) honored and if desired, information about the donor(s). The Library sends acknowledgement letters, including book title(s), to those who have made the contribution. The Library also provides options for donors who may wish to remain anonymous.

Adopt-a-Book is the perfect commemorative gift for:

  • Anniversaries
  • Birthdays
  • Retirements
  • Graduations

Adopt-a-Book is an appropriate memorial gift to honor the memory of a special person(s) or loved one and is a wonderful option for a legacy gift.

To Adopt-a-Book for the library, just select a title from the box to the right.
