Gifts Policy
The James P. Adams Library accepts donations of materials in formats, subject areas, and languages relevant to the collection without conditions, reserving the right to dispose of them as appropriate. Donated items will be evaluated for addition into the collection by Library Subject Liaisons who will recommend their inclusion if appropriate, or their sale either to book dealers or directly to the College community in the Library's book sale. In cases where the condition of the materials or other factors precludes inclusion or sale they will be recycled.
The Library cannot place a cash value on gift books for tax purposes but provides a letter acknowledging the receipt of the gift to the donor. Appraisals for tax purposes are the responsibility of the donor.
Anyone interested in making a gift of library materials to the Library is asked to contact the Library Gifts Coordinator, Debra Thomson at 401-456-9651.
