Selection criteria applies to all books given to the library from another source. Professional reviews from the county's selection criteria will be checked. Damaged or worn books will not be accepted.
For technology and equipment gifts, items that are not working properly will not be accepted. If the item is working properly and in good condition, the librarian will check with a specialist for approval.

Tips for Gifts and Donors
- Approved and accepted books will receive a bookplate with the name of the donor on it.
- Donors of books that do not meet the selection criteria and cannot be accepted will be given suggested locations in the community for possible donations such as child care centers or homeless shelters.
- To prevent disappointment of a donor, a recommended list of books the library would like will be made by the Library Media Specialist. Community members wishing to make a donation can check this list.
