Gift Book Program

"Books, after all, are extraordinary things: thoughts made visible, paper and ink sculptures of the mind, time and space made into words."

- Daniel Johnson
Op-Ed Editor of
The Times of London


Celebrate…
A gift book may be placed in the library in celebration of a special event or day, the birth of a child or perhaps an important anniversary or birthday.

Honor…
A gift book is a wonderful way to recognize the important contribution of a special individual, someone who is retiring or perhaps a leader in a business, civic organization or church.

Remember…
A gift book can be a meaningful memorial for a relative or a friend, a way to share their memory with the community.

How The Gift Book Program Works…
1. A $25 donation places a book with a commemorative bookplate in the collection - a $15 donation places a children's book.

2. Complete the gift book information form at the Eastern Lancaster County Library in a gift book brochure.  Send or bring in the completed form and your contribution to the library.

3. The Librarian selects the book and a bookplate is placed in the book according to the donor's wishes.

4. The library will acknowledge the gift to the person(s) or organization indicated by the donor.

5. The gift book is placed in the library's collection.


A Book Is A Gift That Is Opened Time And Again.
