UW-Parkside Library Friend of the Community
UW-Parkside's Library provides a research component which complements the
excellent collections of public and other libraries in the region. The Library
has traditionally been available for use by any resident of the community.
In fact, community users account for more than 20% of the items checked out
from the Library. Regular users of the Library include researchers from local
industries, history buffs, amateur genealogists, high school students, independent
scholars, extension students, and other individuals working on projects requiring
the use of an academic research collection.
How do I join the Friends of the UW-Parkside Library?
An individual membership in the Friends is twelve dollars ($12.00) per year.
Reduced rates for students and senior citizens, as well as higher rates in
the donor, sponsor, or benefactor categories are available.

When is the Book Sale? How can I donate books and audio-visual materials
to the library?
The Friends of the Library gratefully accepts donations of books and audiovisual
materials. Donations are reviewed by Library staff and are either added to
the Library's collection or are offered for sale at a Friends of the Library
Book Sale.
Proceeds from the book sales are used by the Friends to support the collections
and services of the Library. Gifts may be dropped off at any time at the Library
or in the book drop on Inner Loop Road under the Union bridge. Please contact
the Gifts Librarian, Dina Kaye (voice:262-595-2215, email: kaye@uwp.edu)
if you have a large number of books and/or if you would like to make arrangement
to have the books picked up.
What about magazines, can I donate them to the library?
If you have magazines or journals you'd like to donate, contact the Serials Librarian,
Anne Rasmussen (voice: 262-595-2420, e-mail: anne.rasmussen@uwp.edu).
Due to the complexities of handling and processing, magazine and journal donations are not always accepted.
Can I find out how much my donated books are worth, for tax purposes?
Library staff are not able to appraise donations. However, the Friends of the Library can provide
you with a letter acknowledging the number of volumes donated. If you would like a letter, please include your name and address along with your donation.
