Q. How do I make a donation, memorial, or in-honor gift?

The library welcomes gifts of needed material or funds for the purchase of such material.

The library reserves the right to evaluate and dispose of gifts in accordance with the criteria applied to purchased material. The library discourages the attachment of conditions to gifts, and no conditions may be imposed relating to any gift after its acceptance by the library.

Gifts which do not comply with the library’s objectives and policies will be declined and, when possible, referred to a more appropriate recipient.

Books and other items donated by the public are added to the library collection if suitable and in excellent condition. Donated items not needed for the library collection are given to the Friends of the Library for use in the annual book sale if they are suitable.

Give used books and other items

To donate in other ways, please email donations@knoxlib.org or call (865) 215-8716.
