Gift Ideas from the Library!

With graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and Father’s Day all happening now, plus birthdays all year long, many of us struggle to find just the right gift. Here are a few ways the library can help!

A monetary gift to the library for materials in honor of your friend or loved one. We place a gift plate in each item acknowledging the honoree and the donor. This makes a wonderful lasting gift that benefits the community too! You can choose the topic that best reflects the honoree’s interests.

A Friends of the Library book bag - $8. Every well-dressed reader needs one! Get yours at the 1st floor main desk.

A Friends of the Library membership - $10 to $150. An annual membership or a life membership would be appreciated by many in Emporia.

An autographed catalog card. A number of cards are available signed by such authors as James Patterson, Jonathan Kellerman, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Ann Rule, and John Saul. For $10, you can have a wonderful literary keepsake for yourself or someone special. Plaques for displaying the cards are just $10 each. You can view the actual cards at the library’s 1st floor desk.

All of the options above benefit the library and its programs, so your gift also becomes a gift to the library and therefore the community. Your support is most appreciated!
