Honoring, Celebrating, and Memorializing the Special People in Our Lives

The Edwin H. Mookini Library's Adopt-a-Book Program provides a unique opportunity to combine a love of books and learning with the aspiration to support library development and at the same time to honor, celebrate or memorialize the special people in our lives.

Your contribution to the Adopt-a-Book program allows the Edwin H. Mookini Library to purchase one or more books to help in our continuing quest to develop an outstanding library collection that meets the academic needs of the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Hawaii Community College.

An attractive bookplate is placed inside the front cover of each adopted book noting the person(s) honored and if desired, information about the donor(s). The Library sends acknowledgement letters, including book title(s), to those who have made the contribution. The Library also provides options for donors who may wish to remain anonymous.

Adopt-a-Book is the perfect commemorative gift for:

• Anniversaries
• Birthdays
• Retirements
• Graduations

Adopt-a-Book is an ideal way to commemorate special academic occasions such as:

• Admission into an honor society
• Winning an athletic championship
• Receiving an academic award
• Making the Dean's List

Adopt-a-Book is an appropriate memorial gift to honor the memory of a special person(s) or loved one and is a wonderful option for a legacy gift.

Each donation of $25, for gifts between $25-$249, supports one title selected by a librarian. 'Title' means a recently published item in a subject that supports a current collection development need of the Library.

Donations of $250 or higher provide the donor with the opportunity to work with a librarian to select a subject area for acquisition, but not specific titles, from the Library's extensive list of subject specialties.

Gifts of $10,000 or more can support a book fund endowment for a specific area of academic study on a continuous basis. Books acquired with these funds will be identified with custom-designed bookplates.

All Adopt-a-Book donations are tax deductible.
