The Board of Trustees for the Bunker Hill Public Library District is pleased to introduce the Adopt A Book Program.  You may choose to adopt any book in the current library collection.  When you adopt the book, a special certificate will be placed in the front cover of the book.  The certificate will display the adopter’s name, along with space for a brief message. The book will remain “yours” as long as the book is shelved at the library.  Should your adopted book be retired from the library collection, you will have the opportunity to keep the book for your own collection at home.   In addition, a Certificate of Adoption will be mailed to you.  This program is the perfect opportunity to give a gift that will be opened again and again!  Anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, gifts for teachers, in remembrance of a friend or loved one, or as a commemorative for other special occasions and holidays are only a few good reasons to adopt a book.  What better way to honor someone than with one of their favorite books? 

The cost to adopt a book is $15 for each children’s book, and $20 for each adult book.  All proceeds benefit the building fund for the future library addition.

To adopt a book please direct questions to Trista Manar, Board Secretary, at 618.635.9066 or by email at tristamanar@yahoo.com.  Forms will also be available at the circulation desk in the library.
