This is primarily a donated collection. All items will be reviewed and must adhere to the Library’s Collection Management Policy. Those books deemed not eligible for the collection can be retrieved by the author.
The Library reserves the right to purchase additional copies of donations.
The Library reserves the right to remove titles according to our normal collection management procedures.
