Commemoratives
& Donations
Commemorative donations are a meaningful way to remember a deceased friend or relative, or to honor someone on a special occasion. Donations are used to purchase books and other materials for the library, or may be directed to the Endowment Fund as a way to help sustain the library in the future. All donations should be directed to the Library Director.
To make a commemorative donation to purchase a book or other materials, checks should be made out to the “Oxford Public Library”.
To make a commemorative donation to the Oxford Public Library Endowment Fund, checks should
be made payable to the “Four County Community Foundation”, with “Oxford Public Library Endowment” notated in the notes field.
