Donating to the Gates Public Library in Your Will

Gates Public Library has done much to enrich your life. By including your library in your will, you can help to ensure that it will be able to keep pace with the rapid growth of information as it continues to server patrons in the future.

Here are some suggestions for preparing a will:

Consider what you want to do for your local library.
Call your attorney and other personal advisors to discuss your plans.
Consider contacting the Library Director to ensure the purpose outlined in your will for your bequest will be of the greatest possible use to the library in the future.
Make an appointment to have your attorney specify your options and write your will. It is important to state that your gift is restricted to items over and above what the library receives from the government. By making that stipulation, your gift will not reduce government allocations.
To avoid problems, be sure to use the legal name of the public library in your will: Gates Public Library.
