Fondulac District Library offers honor-based deposit collections to eligible facilities located within the district. Materials provided are library-owned and library-maintained items, but are not part of the library’s main circulating collection. Deposit collection materials are derived in majority from items deselected from the library’s main collection and items donated to the library in good condition. Most materials are general reading material and fiction, but materials may include nonfiction and non-print materials based on availability. The materials are cataloged and tracked by the library for the purpose of providing and maintaining the service, but individual circulation of the items at the deposit location is based on the honor-system. Library staff visit the facility to rotate collections and freshen the selections on a schedule determined by the library in consultation with the facility.
Currently, the library offers collections skilled care homes, assisted living centers, senior-serving centers, special needs facilities, and other such similar locations.
If your facility is interested in more information about hosting a deposit collection, please contact the library.
