Donations

Please contact Ms. Jessie Rutland, Collection Development Librarian, with any questions regarding the donation of books or other materials at 904-826-8534 or jrutland@flagler.edu.

The Library welcomes gift materials and will add them to its collections if the gift materials support the mission of the Library by supporting the curriculum as space permits. All donations are subject to review. We consider subject relevance to the collections, physical condition and available storage space. Books and other materials given to the Proctor Library become the property of the Library. The Library reserves the right to determine retention, location, cataloging treatment and other considerations relating to the use and disposition of gifts.

The most useful donations are new books and replacements for missing items that enrich the curriculum resources and support the missions of the Library and Flagler College. The Library does not collect duplicates, older paperbacks, or outdated textbooks.

The donor bears full responsibility for determining the value of the gift. Proctor Library staff will not provide appraisals of gifts to the collection, as Internal Revenue Code, Section 2512(c), "Valuation of Gifts" precludes the recipient from evaluating a gift. The donor should consult with his/her tax preparer for more information regarding "Noncash Charitable Contributions". The library will not pay for outside appraisers to evaluate gifts to the collection.

Donors are expected to bring the material to the Proctor Library. Materials may be brought in person by appointment or shipped to the Library.

Please Note:

The Proctor Library is a working college collection that is used heavily by students. The Library cannot function as an archive for personal papers, artists' works or personal book collections that require special housing.
