Gift Policy Summary

October 12, 2005

The SUNY Geneseo Library gratefully accepts donations of gifts that support the mission of the College. This includes materials that directly support the curriculum, enhance current research areas, support current co-curricular interests, or demonstrate literary merit. Gift materials are accepted according to the following guidelines:

  • Gifts become the property of the College upon receipt
  • The Library will determine the use or disposition of these materials
  • Materials must be in good condition
  • Donated materials that are not suitable for the collection may be discarded
  • Bookplates will be inserted into gift volumes at the request of the donor

Gifts will be acknowledged in a letter from the Collection Development Librarian. Appraisals are the responsibility of donors and must be completed before the donation is made to the Library. Donors should consult their tax advisors about the need for a professional appraisal.

If you have any questions before delivering materials to Milne Library, please call:

Louise Zipp
Collection Development Librarian
