Adopt a Book
The Forest City Public Library’s adopt-a-book program provides a unique opportunity to combine a love of books and learning with the aspiration to support library development and at the same time to honor, celebrate or memorialize special people in our lives. The adopt-a-book program provides an opportunity to give a gift that can be opened again and again.
Your contribution to the adopt-a-book program allows the Forest City Public Library to purchase one or more books to help in our continuing quest to develop an outstanding library collection that meets the needs of the communities served.
An attractive bookplate is placed inside the front cover of each adopted book noting the person(s) honored and if desired, information about the donor(s). The library sends acknowledgement letters, including book title(s), to those who have made the contribution. The library also provides options for donors who may wish to remain anonymous.
Adopt-a-Book is the perfect commemorative gift for:
- Anniversaries
- Birthdays
- Retirements
- Graduations
Adopt-a-book is an appropriate memorial gift to honor the memory of a special person(s) or loved one and is a wonderful option for a legacy gift.
To adopt-a-book please complete the Adopt-a-Book form. Options to select from include a subject area or format, or let the library choose.
To participate in the Adopt-a-Book Program minimum donations for adult fiction titles are $25, adult non-fiction titles are $35 and all juvenile titles are $20. Audios, DVDs and music CDs are $25. The library will accept donations of any amount.
All Adopt-a-Book contributions are tax-deductible.
