About the Library

Milne Library is not currently accepting donations for the main, circulating collection.

Prospective donors interested in giving materials to College Archives and Special Collections should first contact the Special Collections Librarian, Maureen Weinman. All gifts will be evaluated for acceptance according to the selection guidelines listed in the Collection Development Policy on page 11. The Library does not assess the value of donated materials, but upon request will send a letter to donors acknowledging the donation and number of donated items. In the case of high-value materials, SUNY Geneseo Office of Advancement may coordinate the donation with the Library.

The Library does not accept art works, print journals, magazines, newspapers, CDs, VHS, audiobooks, reference material, or textbooks.

Monetary donations provide vital support, helping us go above-and-beyond what is expected of an academic library. Funds raised through private contributions allow the library to offer expanded resources, services, and programs that enhance our students' educational, cultural, and personal growth experiences. Over the years, our Friends have played an important role in providing increased study space and comfortable seating throughout the library, new extracurricular books and DVDs, presentations/readings and exhibits, and much more.

An annual gift of $500 or more provides you with additional benefits and recognition.
