The Director is authorized to accept on behalf of the Library works of art that meet the criteria herein established. Gifts that do not meet the criteria will not be added to the Library's collection. The Director or his or her designee is also authorized to purchase art that meets these criteria for Library art. The Director will establish a committee to evaluate potential gifts of art using these criteria and will assist in the acceptance process. The committee will advise the Director in the selection process for purchased works of art.
Appraisals are the responsibility of the donor.
The Library is not in a position to provide value estimates on gift material. The Library will provide receipts for any gifts for income tax purposes, such receipts identifying and acknowledging the gift without appraising the work of art. Gifts of works of art will be accepted without limitations or conditions placed on the Library by the donor or artist unless those limitations or conditions are approved by a majority vote of the Kitsap Regional Library Board of Trustees. Title to all gifts of art will pass to Kitsap Regional Library. Gifts to the Library remain outright and unrestricted donations to be used according to the sole discretion of the Library.
