Donations for memorial and honor books and other materials are gratefully received at the Case Memorial Library. A gift may be in memory of a deceased relative or friend, or in honor of a birthday or personal achievement. Such gifts allow the library to purchase items it would not otherwise be able to afford and therefore fill gaps in its collection. Donations - You may send a check made out to the Case Memorial Library Gift Fund OR tell us how much you would like to spend and we will bill you later.

Notification - A letter noting the gift will be sent to the honoree or family of the deceased and a letter acknowledging receipt of the gift will be sent to the donor.

Book Selection - Donors will be encouraged to suggest titles or topics to reflect the interests of the deceased/honoree. The criteria of accuracy, quality, and integrity will be employed as well as consideration of the item’s relation to the total collection. The quality of materials shall be judged on the content as a whole and not by detached excerpts. The search for suitable materials may take several months due to availability and the time required for processing.

Book Plates - Book plates provided by the library will be inserted indicating the name of the deceased/honoree, and the name of the donor. At the time the book is available for circulation, a card is filed at the circulation desk under the name of the deceased/honoree so the item can be easily located.
