Commemorative Plate Program
You can commemorate birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, retirement, holidays, and other special events, or provide a memorial for a loved one.
If this is something of interest to you Click here for a form to fill out and return to the library. Mail (Scott Township Public Library, 301 Lindsay Rd., Scott Township, PA 15106), fax (412.429.5280) drop it off at the library. The form tells us who the gift is for, why the gift is being made, if there are any special instructions regarding the use of the gift, and who additional acknowledgements should be sent to.
Special Notes:
1. We now have cards you may use to let someone know you purchased a plate in their honor, or in the memory of someone special. Ask at the desk for a special card when you turn in your complete form.
2. In May 2007 we began a Commemorative Plate book to list all donations made through this program. Ask for the "plaid book with the Scottie dog on the front" to see this special list.
Non-profits are always in need of financial donations!
One way to donate to Scott Library is to purchase a commemorative plate

Some other suggestions:
Volunteer @ Your Library;
gift cards to Dollar Tree, Jo-Ann's, Michaels, Big Lots or Giant Eagle. Gift cards are very useful as we often don't know exactly what we'll need until we design a new program. It also helps us cut down on our storage issues.
