Monetary Gifts and Endowments
Financial donations to the Libraries & Archives may be made through the Butler Community College Foundation at http://foundation.butlercc.edu/site/index.php.
Gifts of Books and Other Materials
All gifts and donations of materials shall be subject to the professional judgement of the librarian based on the following guidelines:
- whether or not a copy is already in our collection
- whether the item is out of date
- whether the item is not of significant contribution to the current subject coverage
- is of questionable veracity
- is better suited to serve in an online format
- the physical condition of the donation
Your Gift and Income Tax Deductions
Donors who intend to deduct the value of their gifts for income tax purposes are encouraged to create their own lists of donated items and contact their tax attorneys or their accountants. The Library may create a letter of donation verification upon request.
Appraisals
Federal law prohibits libraries from valuing materials. You can have your collection appraised by an independent appraiser before donating to the Libraries & Archives.
