Library Legacies

When you make a dedicated contribution to the Library Legacies Program, you can honor a loved one, celebrate an event, or commemorate an achievement. Plus, your generosity enables the Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives to add more books, journals, and audio-visual materials. It also helps expand the services the library provides electronically in its continuing effort to advance organ availability and transplantation through education and research.

When you honor someone special or highlight a memorable event or achievement by contributing to the Library Legacies Program, we will send an acknowledgment of your gift to the honoree or the honoree's family, or to whomever you designate, as well as to you directly. View the contribution form

Consider the Library Legacies Program a meaningful way to express your appreciation for:

• organ and tissue donors
• organ transplant candidates and recipients
• donor, candidate and recipient families

• friends
• colleagues

Also consider contributing to the Library Legacies Program as a wonderful way to celebrate:

• transplant milestones
• anniversaries
• retirement

Acknowledging Your Legacy

At your request, books and videocassettes purchased through the Library Legacies Program will feature a bookplate with the name of the honoree or description of the special occasion and the reason for the contribution.

If you prefer to support the subscription to a journal, the bookplate can be inserted in a transparent cover that holds the first issue of the subscription.

Selecting Resources for the Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives

The Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives librarian maintains a wish list of the most-needed materials for the library. You can designate that your gift go towards the purchase of a specific book, video, or journal title on the list, or indicate a service you would like to support. Or, you may choose to make a general contribution, and the librarian will determine how to make the best use of your gift.
