Do you ever find yourself struggling to come up with that perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion? Do you sometimes wish that you could give a gift that not only honors someone you care about, but also contributes to the literacy of our community?

The Greensboro Public Library's Buy-a-Book program is the ideal solution for that elusive perfect gift to honor a family member, friend, teacher or colleague, or to commemorate a special occasion such as a graduation, promotion or retirement. Many have also found the Buy-a-Book program to be an appropriate memorial gift to honor the memory of a loved one.

The process is easy. With each donation of $25, a new book with a special bookplate (identifying label) will be placed in the library branch of your choice, and we will send a letter to the person you are honoring, saying that a book had been donated to the Greensboro Public Library in the person's name.

Not only does the Buy-a-Book program help you honor your friends and family, but at the same time is a wonderful way to support literacy and promote the joy of reading.

Your donation will help put more books on our shelves, which is particularly important because the Greensboro Public Library's book and materials holdings per capita is 21% below our peer libraries (libraries around the country that serve similar size population centers). Your donation will help the library meet its goal of stocking the shelves with books that meet the needs and interests of our community.
