Honor and Memorial Gifts to Scranton Library are a fitting tribute to celebrate a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or another special occasion; to honor a loved one, a special teacher, or a co-worker; or to remember a friend or a relative who has passed away. The Library will provide acknowledgment of the gift to the honoree or the family of the deceased. For a gift of $50 or more, the Library will personalize a circulating library item in the subject area and/or format of the donor’s choice, if requested.
For a gift of $25 or more, you can designate an honor or memorial gift specifically for our Children’s Department. The Library will personalize the circulating library item using a bookplate. While the Library cannot honor specific title requests, please let us know if you would like the book to contain certain subject matter (i.e. a picture book about trucks, a non-fiction book about animals, or a fantasy chapter book) and we will do our best to honor the request.
