The library accepts donations of books, audiobooks, and DVDs. We do NOT accept school textbooks or encyclopedias.
If the library can add these donations to our collection, these donations become the property of the library. Items that we can’t use will be placed in the front lobby for the public to take home at no charge.
Memorials
Individuals or groups may wish to make monetary donations to the St. Bernard Parish Library in memory of a friend or a relative. A form will be provided for you to fill out. Memorial gifts are acknowledged as follows:
- An acknowledgement is mailed to the donor.
- Notification is mailed to the designated family member or friend of the deceased informing them a donation has been made and who made it.
- Donor plates are attached to the materials purchased with the gift when appropriate.
Memorial donations are used to purchase books, audio books, movies or to fund programs, depending on the wishes of the donor. The purchase of specifically identified titles with gift funds cannot be guaranteed, nor does the donor have the right of approval of titles before purchase. However, donors are encouraged to recommend subject areas.
