Local History Materials
Please see the Donating section of the Library's Genealogy, History, and Archives page for information about donating local history or archival materials.
Memorials and Honorariums
The Fort Worth Library encourages monetary donations for the purchase of materials for memorials and honorariums.
For a contribution of $25.00 or more, a book, ebook, audio visual or other digital item will be selected and a bookplate (if applicable), inscribed with the name of the person being remembered and the name of the presenter, will be attached to the item. The presenter may request a specific subject matter, preferably in very general areas such as gardening, history, etc.
The Library will acknowledge the receipt of memorials and honorariums by sending a letter to the donor and a letter to family members or friends of the person being remembered or honored.
Checks should be made payable to Fort Worth Public Library and mailed to:
Administrative Services Manager

Please enclose names and addresses of persons to be notified.
