Can I donate my books to the Library?

Answer

Thank you for considering a donation to the Library.

Materials offered will be assessed using the same selection criteria as new purchases: they should support current teaching and/or complement the University’s existing research strengths.

Due to cost and storage limitations, the Library reserves the right to accept or decline donations.

Please email a list of the items, please include, 

  • Author
  • Title
  • Edition
  • Publisher and
  • ISBN

for each of the items you wish to donate to libinfo@ul.ie.

For more details, you can review our Collection Development & Management Policies for Donations and Gifts on our website.

Donations cannot be accepted in person at the Information Desk without written approval from the Collections Department or a Librarian.
