This St. Martin Parish Library branch is covered by the library system’s Collection Development Policy governing gifts and donations. The policy allows unrestricted, irrevocable gifts, donations, and contributions to be accepted by the Library Director and says donated materials are evaluated under the same selection standards used for purchased materials. Useful items that are not needed in the collection may be disposed of at the Director’s discretion, and direct donation of actual materials is discouraged when items do not meet collection standards. This is consequently a specialty resource for books, audiobooks, local-history or genealogy material, and other library-appropriate items rather than a general outlet for furniture, clothing, appliances, household goods, tools, or building materials. The library supports public access to information, local history, genealogy, technology, and community learning throughout St. Martin Parish. Executors should call before bringing sizable collections or unusual materials.
