Gifts in memory or in honor of a friend or loved one are welcomed. Contributions can be made to any branch to purchase library materials. There are four ways to make a memorial contribution to your library:

1. Memorial Book Fund - All contributions below $20 will be placed in a memorial book fund. These funds are used to strengthen areas of the collection. A bookplate will be placed in the books selected stating: This book was purchased with contributions to the memorial book fund.

2. Memorial Book - Contributions of $35 and above will be used to purchase memorial books. Donations made In Memory Of or In Honor Of an individual are recognized by placement of bookplates in new books, showing that these items were purchased In Memory Of or In Honor Of that individual, and assuring a lasting remembrance of a special person.  The donor may designate a genre of book, and the number of books plated corresponds to the amount of the donation.

3. Gift Books - Patrons may purchase and donate a book to the library in honor or memory of a loved one. Gift books are accepted as memorials under the following conditions: they are in good condition; they are not currently owned by the library; and they are appropriate for the library's collection.

If you would like to make a donation to the Library In Memory Of or In Honor Of a loved one, please call Laura de Vrij for more information at 705-639-2228. We will be happy to answer your questions if you are interested in finding out more about making a donation to Asphodel-Norwood Public Library. Contributions may be paid via cash or check.
