The TSTC Waco Library welcomes donations of books and of materials in other formats.
At the same time, we want prospective donors to understand that we cannot promise to
add all gifts to the permanent collection and we reserve the right to dispose of them
as appropriate.
Guidelines to consider include:
-
The library does not have sufficient staff to pick up gifts; therefore, we would prefer
that all gifts be delivered to the Library. You may bring your donations to the
Library’s circulation desk or to the back service door of the Library. You will be
asked to complete a brief donor information sheet; this is used to allow us to
acknowledge your gift but you do not have to complete the form if you do not want
acknowledgement of your gift.
-
Each gift will be evaluated to determine its appropriateness for inclusion in the
reference, circulating or special collections. Gifts are evaluated before they are
added to the collection to insure relevance to the needs of library users and to guard
against unnecessary duplication.
-
Not all gift materials are suitable for this collection. At your request, items not
retained for the permanent collection can be returned to you. If no prior arrangement
has been made, items not placed in the library collections are usually donated to other
libraries or offered to library clientele at no cost.
-
The library staff regrets that it does not have time, expertise, or the legal authority
to appraise the value of donations for tax deduction purposes. Donors will receive a
letter acknowledging only receipt of the gift; it will not include appraisal of the
monetary value of the gift. Appraisals for tax purposes are the responsibility of the
donor.
-
At the donor’s request, the President’s Office will send an acknowledgement of the gift
materials also.
We trust that this statement of policy will in no way discourage library supporters
from contacting the library about possible gifts. The TSTC Waco Library appreciates
the generosity of persons who wish to improve the library collections through donations
of gift items.
Anyone interested in making a gift of library materials to the Library is asked to
contact the Technical Services Librarian, Lianna Dick, by Email at lianna.dick@tstc.edu
or by telephone at (254) 867-2346. You may also come to the Library Circulation Desk
and ask for Lianna Dick.
