Did you find the item that you paid for and now need a refund?
This service is offered at several of our branches. For more details, please contact the following library locations.
Our branches do offer fax, scanning, and printing services.
Patrons may donate funds to purchase library materials in memory of someone or in honor of someone. They may make general suggestions regarding the subject.
Materials are selected and bought by the Collection Development Coordinator.
A bookplate is placed in the material, and when it is sent to the library branch, the donor and the honoree’s family are notified.
Direct donation of actual materials is discouraged as these are often not in compliance with collection selection rules regarding currency, authority, etc.
Gifts of money are always welcome and appreciated.
Specific recommendations from the donor are honored as far as the suggestions enhance subject areas of need within the collection and follow the Collection Development Policy selection guidelines.
Print and complete the donation/memorial form then bring it to your local branch.
UPDATE: Donations are only being accepted by the Friends of the Library at the Central Branch and the Westlake Branch.
The library accepts unrestricted, irrevocable gifts of books and other library materials.
Your donations are accepted with the understanding that they’ll be added to the collection following the Material Selection Plan.
The library reserves the right to sell or otherwise dispose of gifts and donated materials through branch book sales, the Friends of the Library book sales, recycling, or disposal services.
Calcasieu Parish Public Library will not assign a value to donated gift materials. However, the library will stamp or sign the patron’s list of items for X number of books, boxes of books, books-on-tapes, etc., which you can use for tax purposes.
You've searched the online catalog and Loanshark and were unable to find what you needed. Request/suggest that we purchase the item to add to our collection. How?
NOTE:
The library removes library materials that are damaged, are no longer checked out, or contain out-of-date information.
