Bequests and planned gifts are an excellent way to leave a legacy to support your Library. They will help us to provide quality programs for future generations. Your contribution will touch lives for many years to come.
There are a variety of ways to make a planned gift to the Library. The simplest one is to name The Hanover Public Library as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. If you would like to discuss a gift intention, Hanover Library staff would be happy to review your needs and intentions.
Adopt-a-Book
An easy way to support your library and get something nice for yourself. Choose a title from our list of upcoming book releases. We buy the book for the library and when the book arrives you donate the cost to the library. You get a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation and you will be the first borrower to read the book. Both adult and children’s collections can benefit from material adoption. Your generosity can be acknowledged, if you wish, by having a bookplate in the book so that everyone knows of your gift.
Donate Books & Materials
Donated items may be added to our collection or sold at the Annual Book sale. All money raised helps fund our Library programs and services. We accept used books, DVDs, puzzles, games, or CDs to the sale. Please review the pdf document Book Sale Donation Guideline for more information. Donations may be dropped off at any time, however we ask that if you have a large quantity to make arrangements in advance. Please contact the Library at 519.364.1420 or library@hanover.ca for information about donating large amounts of materials.
