Make a donation to the library

Your Tribal Libraries are delighted that you wish to donate to support us!

We are always delighted to receive donations in the form of cash gifts and bequests to be used for purchasing books and other library materials, equipment, improving library facilities, or to support professional development and training for library staff.

Please contact the librarian if you wish to make a monetary or bequest gift.
Donations of books and other physical items may be dropped in the 24/7 library book drops located at the Tribal Library and Tribal College. If you wish to donate a large number of items, please contact the librarian to make arrangements.

We are happy to accept books, DVDs, Blu-rays, music CDs, and audiobooks on CD.
We cannot accept cassette tapes, VHS, CD-ROM, or other media formats.

• The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries accept donations of materials and physical objects (art, equipment, etc.) that are outright gifts, with the understanding that the libraries will handle them as they determine is appropriate
• All gifts of materials and physical objects must be in good, usable physical condition
• All public libraries sustain losses through theft, mutilation, and ordinary wear, and as such the Tribal Libraries cannot guarantee that any gift will be part of the collection permanently
• Consistent with IRS regulations, the appraising of a gift to the library for income tax purposes is the responsibility of the donor
• The Tribal Libraries encourage and welcome cash gifts and bequests for purchasing books and other library materials, for purchasing equipment, for supporting programming, for improving the library facilities, or for the benefit of the library staff in the form of training and professional development
• On request, a plate may be placed in each new book purchased with monies donated as memorial or other tributes
