Gifts in Kind - Books & Materials:

Your donated books and materials can make a real difference for VCU and the VCU Libraries. Most donated materials go directly to our annual Book Sale. The Book Sale is staffed by dedicated Friends of the Library volunteers, and generates income to buy new library materials and to support Friends-sponsored programs and events.
Sometimes donated materials are appropriate for the VCU Libraries' collections, and they are added to the general collection or, in some cases, to Special Collections and Archives. However, we can’t guarantee that donated items will become part of the permanent collection.
All materials donated to the VCU Libraries become the property of Virginia Commonwealth University and cannot be returned to the donor.
For questions about book donations, see our Book Donations Frequently Asked Questions. For more information on book donations, please contact Sarah Amick or Antonia FD Vassar at (804) 828-4640 or 827-1165.

Bookplates:

Bookplates recognize individuals who are important in our personal, cultural, and civic life. Just as these individuals continue to influence and inform us, library books placed on our shelves are a never-ending presence in our intellectual, spiritual, and personal life. It is a great privilege and honor to have such enduring recognition as part of the collections of the VCU Libraries. Bookplates are an especially nice gift to honor the graduating VCU student or retiring faculty member.
The VCU Libraries offers two bookplates featuring the facade of either James Branch Cabell Library on the Monroe Park Campus or Tompkins-McCaw Library for the Health Sciences on the MCV Campus. Bookplates are $50 each. Acknowledgment of bookplate gifts are sent to the honoree following placement in the books.
You may order your bookplate online or contact Antonia FD Vassar at (804) 827-1165 to place your order.
