Memorials and Honorariums
Memorial and honorary contributions to the Marion & Ed Hughes Public Library are gratefully accepted for the purchase of an item already designated or to be designated by the Library Director. There is no minimum contribution for a memorial designation, but the average cost of a good quality title is $25.00. When selecting an item to fill a request, the library will take into consideration subjects suggested by the donor. It should be noted however that this is not always possible depending on the subject or type of material requested. The library will notify the family of the deceased (or honoree) of the contributor's gift and a plaque will be placed in the book with the name of the contributor and of the deceaased or honoree.

It is rare for the library to accept donations of items from an individual's personal library to be used as a memorial. The decision to accept such a gift will be determined based on the library's current needs and selection criteria. The library will not accept for deposit materials which are not outright gifts.
