Thank you for considering your gift of materials to the University of Kentucky Libraries.
We accept donations of books or other physical materials but require a pre-evaluation of the donation prior to acceptance. Please share more information about your donation via our online form. Donation acceptance decisions will be based on criteria around known gaps in our teaching and research collections and feedback from UK Libraries staff and users. Anything accepted and not added to the UK Library collection will be donated to third party partners or recycled.
We do not accept personal or departmental libraries, yearbooks, trophies or plaques, paintings, or similar materials. For these materials, we recommend several well-regarded reading and literacy organizations. These can give your books and other physical materials a new home. Please consider one of these other options for sharing your materials:
If your gift contains rare, unique, unpublished materials, family papers, personal papers, business records, oral histories, or archival records, please contact the Special Collections Research Center.
If your gift is for the Law Library, please contact b.nicole.reynolds@uky.edu.
Our collections, services, and spaces are enriched through generous gifts of funds we have received over the years. For more details about giving options, visit the pages linked below.
