The Leave a Legacy Program allows family and friends to donate a book to the Chipeta Library in celebration of special occasions, achievements and milestones.
Consider donating a book as a way to:
- pay tribute to a 5th grader graduating from Chipeta Elementary School
- celebrate a birthday
- thank a special teacher
A $20 cash or check donation allows you to purchase a book that will represent a genre or subject area that your honoree is passionate about while at the same time, filling the need of the library. With each donation, a card will be sent to the person receiving the honor listing the title of the book that was purchased. A special bookplate will be placed on the inside cover of the book inscribed with the honoree's name, the donor's name and a short message.
Sample Bookplate:

Your gift will enable our library to continue to grow, as well as leave a lasting tribute to your special someone for all to enjoy.
