Memorials & Tributes
Many celebrations and events invite us to honor a special person—birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and retirements. Give special attention to important times in the lives of the people you care about through a monetary donation toward the purchase of library material to honor a significant person or occasion. In the event of someone’s passing, you can express your sympathy and commemorate a loved one, friend or business associate through our memorial book program. An acknowledgement will be sent to the honoree or family of the deceased and to the donor for all tributes and memorials requested.Download the Memorial/Tribute Donation Form »
