OUR DONATION POLICIES

• Acceptance of all gifts of money or goods to any of the District's libraries must be approved by the District Library Board of Directors upon recommendation by the Advisory Committee.  Authority for such acceptance may be delegated.
   
• Gifts of materials for the library's collection must meet the same selection criteria established for the purchase of new materials.  Donated items not selected for the collection will be returned to the donor if requested or included in a Library Book sale to raise funds for new purchases.
   
• All gifts of money and goods become the property of the Library District unless otherwise approved by the Board.  The District reserves the right to make retention decision, to dispose of unwanted items or items that have outlived their usefulness to the District, and will set processing priorities after receiving the gift unless otherwise approved by the board.
   
• The library staff can not be responsible for assessing the monetary value of gifts.  Donors needing an appraisal of the value of their gifts for tax purposes should secure an appraisal from an qualified appraiser.  A donation receipt form will be given to donors upon request.  Donations may be tax deductible, as permitted by the I.R.S.
   
• Donor files will be maintained by the District, but will not be sold or shared with other individuals, groups, or organizations.
