Bequests and Other Donations

Art Work and Furniture

Works of art or furniture donated to the Library will be accepted and exhibited with appropriate attribution for up to one month in a setting selected by the Director.  Following that period of time, the item will become part of a rotating collection displayed throughout the Library or will be sold to benefit the Library.  The Director will make these discretionary decisions.
