Donations
Acceptance of donated materials in new, like new, or gently used conditions is up to the discretion of the librarians at each branch. The Corpus Christi Public Libraries can provide an acknowledgement form but are unable to place a value on materials donated. Gifts, unsolicited materials, and patron suggestions for purchases are all evaluated under the same policies, principles, and selection criteria as regularly purchased materials. Donated materials that are not added to our collection may be added to a book sale, donated to other organizations, or recycled.
Donations to the Local History and Archives Collection are handled at La Retama Library only. See Library policy 300.01 or the Location History department for more details.
