STATEMENT:
The Red Jacket Community Library gratefully accepts
gifts and donations.
PURPOSE:
To provide a mechanism to accept and acknowledge gifts
and donations given to the Red Jacket Community Library.
POLICY
- Gifts and donations will be accepted with the understanding
that such gifts and donations will be added to the Red Jacket
Community Library’s collection only when needed and only when
they meet the same standards of selection which are applied to
regular Library purchases.
- Donors will receive an acknowledgment of their gift.
- The Library will not establish a value for said gifts.
- The donor of any gift materials must understand that the
Library in all instances reserves the right to assign or to
dispose of gifts as it sees fit, if they are not acceptable
library materials or are not needed in the Library’s collection.
The professional staff of the Library will make such
determinations.
- Special collections and memorial collections will not be
shelved as separate items. Such collections will be accepted
only with the understanding that they will be integrated into
the general collection.
- The Library reserves the right to remove or otherwise cover
any commercial advertising in gift materials that may be
accepted for additions to the Library’s collection.
