Live Oak Public Libraries

Adopt a Book

Live Oak Public Libraries' Adopt a Book program is a wonderful way to
honor or remember someone special in your life. With your Adopt a Book
donation of $25, the library will buy a book to be placed in a branch of your
choice, with a book plate indicating both donor and honoree. You can even
designate what kind of book! For example, if you’d like to make a lasting
memorial to a cherished member of the family who loved to garden, we can buy
a gardening book for the branch she used the most. Or if you want to honor the
birth of child, we’ll buy a children’s book. And every time the book is used, your
donation and the person it honors will be remembered – a wonderful way of
insuring a lasting commemoration of a special person or occasion.

With each $25 contribution, a gift plate will be placed in a book in honor or
memory of the person you designate. A Gift Card will be sent to the person
being honored; an Acknowledgement Card will be sent to the family of the
deceased. With a contribution of $10, A Gift Card will be sent in your name to the
person you designate.

The John V. Luck Memorial Collection is a special part of the Adopt-A-Book
program, which buys current popular science books that encourage people to
read and learn more about science. These books are placed in all of the
library’s branches, in honor of the late John V. Luck of Savannah. Be sure to
note on your Adopt-A-Book form that your donation is for this collection.
If you wish to make a larger donation for either general collection development or
for a special purpose, library staff will be happy to discuss your goals and
priorities. Donations are always needed and welcome, and can be used to build
library collections in any designated branch. Call the Live Oak Public Libraries
Foundation at 912-652-3605.
