An Amazon wishlist was created to facilitate donor contributions to the Leisure Reading Collection.  All donors will be thanked, as always, by Collection Management and by the Friends of the Library (via Linda Durkos) for purchasing a book for the LR Collection. 

There are several ways to donate.

• Donors may select a title from the wishlist and order it
• they may send a check for $50 and designation of the wishlist title they would like to donate
• they may send a check for $50 and designate a non-wishlist title they would like to donate
• they may send a check for $50 and not designate a title

Books can be ordered:

• through the Wishlist by donor  http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/JPP6TEXQGUYV
• through the online order form, fund Leisure Reading, by library staff. http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/bookorder/bookreq.php

Bookplates will always be “Gift of”, however donor may also add to or change that to:

• “In honor of”
• “In memory of”

If book is ordered via the Wishlist

• The book will arrive from Amazon and be addressed to Collection Management, and should be given to Robin
