Gifts and Memorials

Gifts Policy

Gifts in various forms are accepted by the Tolland Public Library.

Material donations, including books, videos and audio books, are subjected to the same selection standards as new material purchased by the library. Material donations are accepted with the understanding that they may or may not be added to the collection. Items may be used for fund raising, passed to another library, or discarded. Gifts in kind will be acknowledged though the valuation is the responsibility of the donor.

Gifts of monies will be accepted by the library. If the gift is accompanied by instructions to purchase a specific title, all efforts should be made to adhere to those instructions. If there are no specifics tied to the monies, the gift should be disbursed equally between adult books, Children/YA books, video and audio. An acknowledgement for tax purposes will be given for gifts of cash.
