Adopt an Author

What Happens When You Adopt

When you adopt an author or series:

• The library purchases and processes the book
• When the book is ready, you are notified first
• You check out the book before it goes into general circulation

You get to enjoy your next read while helping build the library’s collection.

Adopter Benefits

As an Adopt an Author participant, you receive:

• Preferred checkout of your adopted author’s newest book or series
• The library’s discounted purchase price (typically 35–43% off cover price)
• No late fees on adopted books
• Updates on new book releases
• A name plaque inside the front of the book, recognizing your support
• A tax-deductible contribution

Flexible & Personalized

The program is tailored to your interests.

• Adopt a specific author or a single series
• Choose adult, young adult, or children’s literature
• Gift an adoption in someone else’s name

For example, if you love Janet Evanovich but only her Stephanie Plum series, the library can adopt just that series for you.

Author & Series Selection

Almost any current author from major publishers can be adopted.

• The library maintains a suggestion list of more than 650 authors and series
• Patrons may also request authors or series not currently on the list
