SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 2015 Library to present this year’s endowment books The Siuslaw Public Library will present new books pur- chased this year with proceeds from it’s endowment fund Thursday, June 11, at 1 p.m. in the Bromley Room. The Siuslaw Library Endowment Fund, adminis- tered by the Western Lane Community Foundation, was founded in 1994 for the pur- chase of books. It was started by an initial donation from the Friends of the Library, which has been added to with yearly donations from the Friends as well as donations from many individ- uals in the community. Bookplates are placed in the books acknowledging individ- ual and group donors. Each year, the library receives a certain amount of the interest accrued for the purchase of books. As the fund increases, the amount spent on children’s, young adult and adult books has increased. Some of the books pur- chased are special, more expensive books that wouldn’t fit within the library’s regular book-purchasing budget. They range from large cof- fee-table art and photography books, reference books, sci- ence and health, cookbooks, classic, contemporary fiction and more. Each year, these books are presented at a public program and made available for check- out on that day. In addition, many of the books are promi- nently displayed in the library for some weeks after the pres- entation. This program is free and open to the general public.
