Gift Materials Acceptance Policy
In addition to donations of funds, the Horrmann Library also welcomes gifts and contributions for the development of its collection if the content is current and support the curriculum. Gifts are evaluated by the same standard as purchased items to ensure that the collection maintains quality, consistency, and relevance to the needs of the college. Restrictions apply regarding gift acceptance policy and are as follows.
Gift materials are accepted under the following conditions:
- The Library reserves the right to determine their retention, location, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to their use. Bookplates identifying the donor will be provided upon request. Items not appropriate for the collection will be discarded.
- In rare cases gifts will be refused if there are unacceptable conditions attached to the donation (i.e. restrictive borrowing limits) not in keeping with the mission of the Library.
- To protect the donor and the College and comply with U.S. tax laws, the Library cannot appraise gifts for tax purposes.
- The donation of old books, magazines, newspapers, or items in poor condition is discouraged.
