About the Gift & Memorial Program
Thank you for your interest in the Rockingham County Public Library's Gift and Memorial Program! Celebrate a birthday or anniversary, recognize the graduate, or show appreciation for a retiree - all through the Rockingham County Public Library's Gift and Memorial Program. It's easy, simple to do, and your donation is tax deductible.
While the Library does not accept the donation of actual material as part of this program, your financial contribution may be directed toward specific types of collections or favorite subject areas. We invite you to honor family members, friends and associates with a lasting gift of books or other library material to the Rockingham County Public Library. The library staff can supply, upon request, suggestions of needed materials for consideration by the donor.
Memorials
Want to give a memorial that will last longer than flowers? When a friend or loved one dies, please consider donating a book to the Rockingham County Public Library. You choose the topic and we will find the perfect book. Each memorial has a bookplate placed inside stating it was given in memory of your special someone.
Gifts
Have an avid chef, collector, crafter or dog lover in your life? Looking for a unique gift for someone's birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion? You can give a book to the Rockingham County Public Library in honor of your friend or loved one, and we will place a bookplate inside the front cover that says the book was donated in honor of your special someone.
