Honor With Books

The Honor with Books program at the Westwood Library allows you to help build the Library's collection while establishing a lasting tribute to a special person or occasion.  Celebrate a wedding, birthday, a graduation, or a special friendship.  Honor the memory of a departed friend or relative.

With your donation, a bookplate will be prepared in your name and that of the honoree and placed on the inside cover of a new book being added to the Library.  Once the book has been plated, you will receive a letter providing a copy of the bookplate and the title of the book selected.  If you have any questions about the Honor with Books program, please call the Library at (201)664-0583.
