Graduation

Learn more about the Library's Graduate Books program.


Gifts can also come in the form of new and used books, archival materials, movies, magazines, prints, etc.

Books

The library accepts donated materials and will do one of the following:

  • add the item to the library collection and recognize the name of the donor in the LION catalog; or
  • donate the item to The Friends of the RBC Library for future book sales.

Donors can be issued letters verifying that a specific number of items were donated to the library; however, the library does not appraise items and therefore can not specify a dollar amount for donated items.
