Can I donate books to the Library?
What types of donations do you or do you not accept?
Answer
The collection at the Angus L. Macdonald Library has been enhanced over the years by generous gifts, donations, and bequests from alumni, faculty, and friends of St. Francis Xavier University. The Library accepts gifts that contribute to the growth and development of our collection. Monetary gifts are particularly welcome as they enable the Library’s collection to remain current, to strengthen subject areas, and to fill gaps in the collection.
The Library normally does not accept:
- Donations that duplicate material already held by the Library
- Material that is damaged or in poor condition
- Textbooks and related instructional aids
- Newspapers, magazines, or journals
