Donated Materials

Gift additions must meet the same selection criteria as purchased materials. In some cases, titles are received or purchased which could not have been acquired from library funds because of budget limitations. If gifts of marginal value are being offered, processing costs and use of shelf space are considered before the gift can be accepted.

Gifts are subject to the following limitations:

• The library retains unconditional ownership of the gift
  
• The library makes the final decision regarding its own use or other disposition of the gift
  
• The library reserves the right to decide the conditions of display, housing, and access to the materials
