Would you like to be a part of Rodman Library history while giving back to your community? You can make a real and tangible difference to Alliance readers by donating books using the Amazon.com Wish List Program.

What's on Rodman Library's Wish List?

Library specialists have created a list of high-demand books that you can purchase through  Amazon.com's Wish List Program. By donating one of these books to the Library, you can be sure that you are meeting an immediate and specific need.

When you buy books on the library's Amazon.com Wish List, they will be mailed directly to the library's book processing center. When the book is received, you will be notified by the library. A bookplate will be placed on each book letting future readers know it was a gift to the library from you. (Note: please do not purchase books for the library that are not on the specifically requested Wish List)

As an added perk, when you purchase a book for Rodman Public Library, you can choose to be the first to read it by entering a note in the "gift options" section.

All donations are tax deductible as the law allows. Donors are advised to keep their receipts from Amazon.com in order to take advantage of a tax deduction.

Do your part in supporting your local public library. Go to Amazon.com's Wish List page and donate a book to Rodman Library today!
