The Roger & Peggy Madigan Library welcomes gifts of materials that are consistent with the collection development policy provided there are no restrictions attached as to their disposition. Because all items added to the collection generate processing and storage costs, materials received as gifts will be evaluated by the same criteria as materials purchased. Gifts are accepted with the understanding that materials may not be added to the collection and may be sold or offered to another library, College department, other non-profit agency, or recycled. Since time and staff constraints prohibit us from returning materials to donors, the library reserves the right to decide upon the disposition of all donations. Donors who agree to these conditions should complete the following form and submit it with the items to be donated.
Upon request, the library will provide a letter acknowledging the gift and stating how many items were donated. Since we cannot assess the dollar value of donations or provide a printed inventory of titles, donors must make their own arrangements to do so. Corporate donors will receive an acknowledgement from the Pennsylvania College of Technology. Bookplates will be inserted at the request of the donor.
