GIFTS-IN-KIND
Gifts such as books, journals, media or historic materials are significant to the development of the Library. Over the years these donations have helped to develop the size, depth and diversity of the collection. Selection criteria for gift materials are the same as those for purchased materials. In most cases, duplicate materials will not be added to the collection. Gift materials are accepted without stipulations and the library staff reserves the right to determine the ultimate disposition of donated items including disposal.
You may deliver gifts of materials to the Library anytime it is open. Upon delivery, you will be provided a donation form to complete so that a written acknowledgement may be provided. You may request gift plates be attached to materials added to the collection.
Under current tax law, the Library cannot attach a value to materials received through donation. You may assign a value for tax purpose or elect to have the donation independently appraised to establish the value for tax purposes. If you want a detailed inventory by title with the letter of acknowledgement, please submit a list of titles with your donation.
Generally, the Library does not have the resources to pick up gift materials from outside campus. In special instances, pickup may be negotiated. Please contact Joan Carlo at jcarlo@uccs.edu or 719-262-3293 with any questions.
