The library cannot accept donations with stipulations.

Gifts and donations received become the permanent property of the Library and disposition of them is conducted at the discretion of the Library. In compliance with IRS regulations, the library is prohibited from assessing a monetary value of donated items but a receipt identifying the donation will be given if requested.

Memorials and Tributes
Donations in memory or honor of someone are accepted through the Library’s Honor With Books - Give-a-Book Program.

Monetary Gifts
Monetary donations will be directed to the Library Donation account or to the Friends of the Flower Mound Public Library, according to the wishes of the donor, and will be used to enhance Library services. A donor’s specific request for use of the monetary donation will be honored if practically possible, but cannot be guaranteed.
