Alger Public Library creates gifts and memorial donation program
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.
Each new item added to the library’s collection will receive a bookplate with the name of the person honored and the donor listed.
“We will notify the person or family that your designate about your gift. The amount of all gifts remains confidential,” she said.
The library suggests the program can recognize persons celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and other accomplishments.
One way us donate through the program is to celebrate a child’s birthday by donating a book or other material appropriate to the child’s age. We will notify the child of the donation so that he or she can be the first to borrow the material, said Hensley.
To participate in this program by check, made payable to the Alger Public Library, and mail to:
Alger Public Library
Po Box 18
Alger, OH 45812.
