Alger Public Library has established a program for patrons to honor family members, friends and associates through the donation of funds to purchase books at the library, according to Stacey Hensley, director.
“We invite you to honor family members, friends and associates with a lasting gift of books or other library material to the Alger Public Library,” she said.
For a donation of $25 or more, a new acquisition will be added to the collection.
“You may designate a specific subject area and the type of material you prefer – a book, audiobook or DVD – or let us select an appropriate item,” she said.
