Celebrate the holidays
with
Very Merry Library!
Who Can
Participate?
Many people like to donate books to their favorite library
as
an
appreciation for services throughout the year or in honor
or
memory of a loved one.
The Guthrie Public Library assists in
this
effort by providing a current list of desired titles to be
purchased.
How Does
It Work?
Those wishing to donate a specific book (or two or more?…)
may
check out the list of titles at the front desk. Books may
be
purchased at your favorite store and delivered to the library,
or
a donation for the amount listed as the library’s cost can
be presented for a
tax deductible
donation.
(Checks can be
made
out to Friends of the Guthrie Public Library.)
Is There
a Deadline?
The Guthrie Public Library accepts donations year-round, but
those
participating in
Very Merry Library can
take advantage
of the library’s special discounted price and still receive a
custom book plate acknowledging each gift to the library.
