LibAnswers

McGraw-Page Library is no longer accepting donations of printed books or journals. There are three exceptions to this policy:

• The College Archives welcomes materials that document the origins, developments, activities, achievements, and people associated with Randolph-Macon College.
• Donations of unique and rare materials will continue to be accepted and reviewed by our Special Collections & Archives Associate.
• The Library welcomes donations of new books written by R-MC faculty, staff, and alumni.

This policy change is due to the high cost of storing, reviewing, and processing donations. As a college library with a collection that supports our current curriculum, we have found that it is more cost effective to purchase new titles than to review older titles that too often duplicate existing copies in our collection.

For further information about donating items that fall under the above three categories please contact the library at library@rmc.edu.

Other Options for Donating Books:

• Better World Books
• Goodwill 
• Books for Africa
• Internet Archive's Open Library project
