Gift Opportunities
The L.A. Beeghly Library of Juniata College selectively accepts gifts that enhance the library’s collections. Donations are a true “gift of knowledge” and not only help us broaden and enrich our holdings, but contribute to our annual book sale, sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
All gifts become the sole property of the library with the understanding that the library will use the materials to best serve its patrons whether it is through addition to the collections, sale, or recycling. The library strongly discourages restrictions on gifts.
A gift to the library can be in many forms; hardback books, quality paperbacks, mysteries, novels, and science-fiction titles for the library book sale, back issues of academic journals, videos, music compact discs, scores and recordings, and last but not least, financial contributions.
When a gift is dropped off at the library, please be sure to fill out the appropriate form, which is available from the Acquisitions Department or if after hours from a Reference Librarian. When the form is filled out, we can then send a proper acknowledgment to the correct address.
All gifts to the library are considered charitable donations, since tax laws change from time to time; we encourage you to seek advice from a knowledgeable tax consultant. The library is not permitted to give appraisals on items donated. The library also does not provide itemized inventories. The donor will be solely responsible for all itemized lists and with providing the Internal Revenue with an appraisal, should the need arise.
Beeghly Library will forward information to the Office of College Advancement and they in turn will send out a letter of acknowledgment. The information forwarded will include only a count of items given or family member. This is a wonderful and lasting way to remember someone.
The Library Director will be happy to discuss your gift with you and can be reached at the library.
