Donations Policy

Donations Policy:

• Monetary donations go toward the Gustavus Public Library operating budget unless specified by the patron. Patrons wishing to see specific items or resources added to the library may purchase those materials independently and donate them to the library. These items will be used in accordance with the Collection Development Policy.
• Donated materials: once an item is donated to the library, the Library Directors will have full authority to decide whether and how that item is used in the library. Donated items may be added to the collection if they meet the Collection Development Criteria, sold to raise funds for the library, given away as prizes or incentives, or disposed of based on the current needs of the library.
