The Rushville Public Library welcomes monetary donations for the purpose of remembering loved ones and friends who have passed away, for the celebration or a birthday or anniversary, or for the recognition of a deed well done. Memorial gifts are wonderful because they insure a lasting memorial to a loved one or friend. Once the Library receives the gift, a note is sent to the person being remembered or the next of kin. If the gift is more than fifteen dollars, a book(s) is purchased and a special plate stating the name of the donor and in whose memory it was given is placed inside. If the gift is less than $15, it is placed in a general memorial fund and used to purchase books for the Library. Many kind folks have given memorial gifts and requested that videos, puppets, or other library materials are purchased. Some donors have requested that the gift be used for our programming such as the summer reading club or the young adult monthly events.
