Donations of books, journals, magazines, manuscripts, audio visual, and other materials are welcome and appreciated.  The library also welcomes monetary gifts to support its collection.  For further information please contact Felix Unaeze, the Library Director.

We accept donations unconditionally with the understanding that we are not obligated to include them in our collection.  With regards to our policy for magazine or newspaper donations, the publications must be thought to have sufficient general interest or reference value.  We ask that the donor commit to one year, preferably two.  Donations are evaluated by the library staff for inclusion in the library collection.  Items not added to the collection are sold in the Library Book Sale or otherwise disposed.  Sale proceeds are used to buy new materials.

 

All donations and gifts are acknowledged by a letter to the donor.  Please enclose your name and address with your donated materials so that we may send you a gift acknowledgement. 

Federal tax regulations prohibit UW libraries from giving appraisals or estimates of value for donations.  Valuation is the responsibility of the donor. 

If you have any questions regarding gift donations please contact Beverly Sturgis by phone, 715-394-8437, or email.
