Rocky River Public Library appreciates and welcomes financial contributions from individuals, families, organizations and corporations.
While unrestricted gifts are more desirable for the flexibility they allow the library, gifts with reasonable restrictions are welcome. Contributions may be accepted for particular projects or services that fall within the library’s mission and plans.
Generally, donations of objects are not accepted.
All contributions are acknowledged with respect and gratitude. For gifts of $10,000 or more, the Board of Trustees provides additional recognition by adopting a resolution, distributing a press release, including a tribute in the library’s news magazine Ex Libris, and by placing the donor’s name on a permanent plaque.
In certain cases, the Board of Trustees may provide further recognition but shall do so within the following parameters:
- Recognitions shall contribute to the aesthetic integrity of the library building.
- Permanent recognitions must be easily maintained and withstand heavy use in the interior, or the weather if outside the library.
- Recognition in the form of portraits or photographs of donors to be hung on library walls shall not be permitted.
- Existing rooms or areas of the library may be named after individuals.
Under special circumstances, the library reserves the right to override this policy.
