  • Book Donations to The Eliot D. Pratt Library

     

    Gifts of Works Authored by Alumni, Students, Staff or Faculty:

    The library gratefully accepts donations of works (books, CDs, DVDs, plays, chapbooks, etc.) authored by Goddard alumni, faculty, staff and students.  Two copies are optimal for adding to both the general collection and the special collection.*  Please send your publications directly to:

    Goddard College
    Advancement Office
    123 Pitkin Rd.
    Plainfield, VT 05667

    *Please note: the special collection is reserved for matriculated alumni, current student, current staff, current and former faculty, and current and former trustee publications. Non-matriculated alumni and withdrawn student publications will be added to the general collection.

    Your publication will also be considered for a review in Clockworks, the alumni magazine. Digital images of your book cover can be emailed to clockworks@goddard.edu.

    All Other Book Donations to the Eliot D. Pratt Library:The standard of selection that governs purchases of books for the library collection also applies to gifts. Gifts will be accepted on the condition that the library staff may select those appropriate for the collection. Generally we are looking for items that are in very good to new condition, are up-to-date or remain relevant with age, and are pertinent to Goddard College programs. We are unable to accept items that:

    • are damaged or show signs of excessive wear and tear
    • contain mold or have strong odors
    • contain much writing & highlighting beyond an inscription
    • contain ex-library markings
    • are outdated
    • are mass-market paperbacks or VHS

    Interested donors are encouraged to contact the library with questions at library@goddard.edu, 800-468-4888 ext. 208.

    If items are not accepted for the collection they may be added to the book sale or recycled unless other arrangements are made. In the event that the donor does not wish for any of their unwanted books to be sold or disposed of, items may be picked up by the donor. The donor is responsible to pick up the material within one month of notification of decision not to add to collection. Items not picked up within one month will be disposed of at library staff’s discretion.

    Goddard College does not assign a monetary value or perform appraisals of gifts. Upon request, the library staff will provide a receipt of donation that includes how many items were received.

    Please send or bring book donations directly to:

    Goddard College
    Eliot D. Pratt Library
    123 Pitkin Rd.
    Plainfield, VT 05667

    Gifts of Literary Estates:

    Goddard Archives are limited by space and generally do not include material other than that which is part of the College’s history. Because of this limitation, literary estates are not usually accepted.
