Celebrate with Books @ Red Land Community Library

Wish to celebrate a life, birthday, anniversary, holiday or other occasion? A book donated to the library is a great gift that will honor your special occasion for a long time!


You can choose from a pre-selected list of books, audio books, movies, or music CDs available at the library or on our Amazon Wish List.  This program provides an opportunity to honor or remember family members and friends with a commemorative bookplate. 
Contributors will receive a charitable tax receipt, if requested. You will also have the distinction of being the first to borrow the item you select. Unless you wish to remain anonymous, we'd also like to thank you for your generosity by including your name on a published donor list.

Local artist and library member, Nancy Mendes, has donated a piece of art for sale to benefit the Friends of the Library. You can see it here.
