FVCC Library Gift Policy and Donations

Gift Policy / Donations

The FVCC Library will accept gifts of materials that assist in the development of the collection. The following conditions apply to all gifts:

● All gifts become the permanent property of the College.

● The Library, with administrative approval, reserves the right to decline a gift if the material(s) is not deemed usable for the collection.

● No materials will be accepted as a permanent "loan" to the Library. 

● The Library staff will not assess monetary values to gift materials, but can, upon request, prepare a receipt for the donor indicating the type and number of gifts.

● The Library may dispose of gifts that do not meet library standards as defined elsewhere in this policy.

● The Library will not accept materials to establish a separate "collection within a collection."
