Memorial Gifts and Donations
A library donation is a thoughtful way to celebrate friends and family, providing an lasting tribute to a loved one. Memorial gifts continue the legacy of those remembered and honor the surviving family as well.
Kelley Library welcomes donations of varying amounts, and suggestions for the use of the donation are welcomed. Every gift is acknowledged with a letter to the donor and with a notification sent to the family of the individual being honored. Gifts up to $100 will be used to purchase library materials (books, music, audiobooks, etc.). A book plate will be included in each item purchased with donations. Larger gifts will be used for furnishings. Multiple donations for an individual may be combined to purchase a more costly item. A small inscribed plaque will be purchased to commemorate the donation.
If you wish to make a memorial donation, please print and fill out a donation form to include with your check. Preprinted forms are also available at the library. You may drop off or mail your donation to:
