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.
For more information, con-
tact the library at 541-997-
3132.
