Donations of Money:
The Hennepin County Library Board encourages donations of money to the Library Foundation of Hennepin County or to the Friends of the Library groups. These gifts will enhance the Library system's services and programs.
Monetary donations may be unrestricted or designated to a particular program or service. The Library Foundation of Hennepin County will handle and acknowledge memorials and tribute gifts for system-wide programs, services, and gifts to individual libraries if requested. Memorial gifts to individual libraries through Friends of the Library groups may be managed and acknowledged by Friends of the Library groups.
The Library Foundation of Hennepin County handles all planned gifts and bequests for the Hennepin County Library system. The Foundation will work closely with both the donor and appropriate library staff to steward these important 'future' gifts.
Donations of Books and Other Materials:
Donations of books and other materials may be made directly to Hennepin County Library. Books and materials donated to the library are given to Friends of the Library groups. The Library does not provide appraisals of gifts or potential gifts, and does not accept materials that are not outright gifts.
Donations of Public Art:
See Library Board Policy #10, Art in Public Libraries.
