Adopt a Book

What is "Adopt-A-Book"?

Adopt A Book is a rewarding and lasting way to honor a loved one or commemorate an important occasion, and at the same time, provide a gift of a book to the Cal Poly Pomona University Library. Donations to Adopt A Book with books contribute to the Library collections endowment. Gifts help the Library keep up with the demands for information while creating a lasting memorial for relatives, friends, colleagues, teachers and classmates by honoring them upon graduation, college admissions, births or personal achievements.

What does Adopt-A-Book do?

Donations made through Adopt A Book help the Library to fulfill requests for books and library materials that lie beyond the normal acquisition budget. In doing so, these gifts enhance the collections and advance the educational mission of the Library.

How does Adopt-A-Book work?

Your gift to Adopt A Book contributes funds to a general book endowment for the Cal Poly Pomona University Library. This gift is an investment in Cal Poly Pomona, the Library and in the education of future generations of Cal Poly Pomona students.

How do I contribute?

  • Each $50 gift purchases and plates one book recognizing the honored party and the donor.
  • Gifts of $500 purchase and plate 10 books.
  • With a gift of $10,000 or more, individual donors can establish their own named endowment in the subject area of their choice. All gifts will be acknowledged to the honored party or family with a letter and a copy of the bookplate.
