If the title requested is not appropriate for the library collection, inter-library loan may be recommended. You will be notified if the title is not purchased for the library. All branches will accept donations to the library system. Donated materials should be in excellent condition and packed in sturdy containers. The Library reserves the right to decide whether the items will be added to the collection, or even refuse to accept gift items that show physical deterioration or are non-book items that are not in the collection.
All gifts are subject to the library's selection process before they are included in the collection.
Items not included will be disposed of appropriately. The Library welcomes cash donations and will collaborate with the donor on the selection of material. Donations may be recognized by bookplates. CHPL does not have the resources to rebind books. Books that need rebinding are sent out to a Bindery.
