Memorial/Honor

Books are a wonderful way to honor a special teacher, an accomplishment, or a job well done.  They can be a way to say thank you or thinking of you. Books honor the memory of loved ones and serve as living tributes that enrich the community.
​
A bookplate will be placed in an honor/memorial book.

Adopt an Author

Do you have a favorite author and want to ensure the library always purchases their works? Do you want to be the first one to read the book? Consider the Adopt an Author program and commit to paying the cost of the book (at the discounted price the library receives) for the collection. When it is released, you will be the first to check it out to read it. See the front desk for a list of authors and to sign up.

Giving Tree

Artificial birch tree with pictures of books hanging on the branches

If you are looking to celebrate someone's birthday, anniversary, or accomplishment, we have a tree inside the building with upcoming releases that you can purchase for the library. You can have a name plaque inserted and be the first to read the book before it is put on our shelves
