Adopt-a-Book

Adopting a book is a great way to help your library while also honoring someone important to you.
You may want to purchase a book:
- to memorialize someone
- to celebrate the birth of a child
- to celebrate someone's birthday
- to honor someone's retirement
- to celebrate a marriage
- to celebrate a student's graduation
- to celebrate a religious ritual such as a Baptism
All books will have a book plate with the name of the donor as well as the person being honored or remembered.
A card will be sent to the family of those being memorialized to let them know of the donor's purchase for the library.
Find out more by reading the
online brochure.
