Memorials & Tributes
Through The Friends' memorials and tributes program, you can remember a loved one or honor a friend with a gift to the Saint Paul Public Library Book Endowment Fund.
Celebrate a wedding, a birthday, a graduation or a special friendship.
Honor the memory of a departed friend or relative.
Gifts are added to the Book Endowment Fund of The Friends. Income from this endowment annually supports the purchase of new books and materials for the Saint Paul Public Library.
One-Time Gifts
For every $25 contributed, you will have a bookplate inscribed with the name of the person being honored and, if desired, the name of the donor, placed in a newly purchased book at the Library. Your gift will also be acknowledged in Friends publications.

Long-Lasting Tributes
Make a Long-Lasting Tribute ($500 and more)
A gift of $500.00 or more will endow the purchase of a book each year in perpetuity. Special wording on a bookplate placed annually in a newly purchased book will acknowledge the extraordinary effort you have made to honor a friend or a loved one. These gifts are specially recognized in The Friends' annual report.
