Gifts to support the collections of the Francis A. Drexel Library
A great way to show appreciation for someone special, be it a family member, friend or respected teacher, is through a gift to the Library in honor of that person or as a memorial tribute. This donation could be an appropriate book chosen to represent the honoree's special interest in a subject or a monetary gift the Library can use to select and purchase materials for the collections. Any print book that is accepted will carry a book plate in the volume acknowledging the gift as well as a digital bookplate in the Library's catalog.
General monetary gifts can also be made to help the Library purchase materials - in print, electronic or visual format - for a particular subject area or for our general collections.
While the Library is appreciative of gifts of books as described above, we can not accept collections of books from someone's personal library without special arrangement with the Associate Director for Resources Management.
