Memorial Gift Program

When you want to honor a loved one who has passed away.

When you make an in-memoriam gift to the Gatesville Public Library, the library helps to make sure that the community remembers your loved one(s) while assisting the library in its educational mission. When a loved one passes, you can request that people make a donation to the Gatesville Public Library in memory of your loved one(s) in lieu of flowers. If you have questions about the Memorial Gift Program or would like to make a gift to the library, please contact Shea Harp.

Estate Planning

You can also remember the library when estate-planning. Remembering the library in your will helps ensure that the library will continue to maintain its excellent service and inviting environment that you have come to know and appreciate. Using its attorney, the library is more than willing to, at its expense, provide some legal assistance with the process. For more information about estate-planning, please contact Shea Harp, Director of the Gatesville Public Library.
