MATCHING GIFTS
Matching gifts can double or even triple your contribution. Many employers match a percentage of your contributions to the Lanier Library. Contact your employer’s human resources to learn if you are eligible. If Lanier Library is not a listed organization, let us know so that we can make an application to become a matching gift recipient organization.
TRIBUTE & MEMORIAL GIFTS
Gifts can be made in memory or honor of a loved one or friend and to celebrate occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. We would be glad to notify the person that you are honoring in person, by telephone, or by written acknowledgement.
BOOK DEDICATIONS
For $25 each, members may select a specific book to dedicate in honor or in memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion. A book plate printed over a watercolor by artist and member Christine Mariotti will be affixed inside the front cover.
Members can select any book from the Library’s collection, except books already dedicated or rare and highly-collectible.
