Pet Commemorative Book Program
Our new Pet Commemorative Book Program offers an opportunity to remember a pet
through a meaningful and enduring gift to Children's Services. With a $15.00
donation, we will purchase a children's book for our collection, which will
contain a bookplate naming the pet being honored. Just
download the application, complete it,
and fax, mail, or drop off at the children's department. Applications are also
available at the Library in Children's Services.
