Show Your Love for Books & Learning:
Adopt-a-Book for an Albia Community School District Library
A wonderful way to donate new literature to an ACSD library of your choice while honoring a loved one in a truly distinctive manner
The Albia Community School District libraries are in need of newer, updated resources to support the education and reading interests of students. So they will be running an Adopt-a-Book program to raise funds for the purchase of new, quality, durable books. The program allows participants to 'adopt a book' and dedicate it in honor or memory of someone special. It is a chance to say "thank you" to someone you care for, and it also makes a statement about the value you place on books, libraries, reading, and learning.
Participants in the Adopt-a-Book program can select the type of book (fiction, nonfiction, animals, sports, etc.) to be purchased. A book which meets the needs of the library based on the sponsor's preferences will be ordered. After the book is received and processed, a commemorative bookplate bearing the name of the person being honored or memorialized will be placed inside. The wording on the bookplate may be customized as the sponsor wishes. The library will notify the honoree of their gift and that they can check it out first.
Participation in the Adopt-a-Book program requires a minimum donation of $20 and is tax deductible. Please keep in mind that the libraries will purchase especially durable books to ensure their longevity. Because book prices vary, any remaining balance after the purchase of a book will go towards purchasing additional books for the libraries.
To sponsor and dedicate a new book for the Adopt-a-Book program, complete the Adopt-a-Book form attached below and return it, along with the minimum $20, to an ACSD school library. For more information, contact Leann Seddon, K-12 Teacher-Librarian, at (641)932-2161. Further contact information for Mrs. Seddon can be found here.
