The Brazil Public Library will accept gifts in the form of donated materials. Items donated will be added to the collection using the same selection criteria as for purchased materials, however additional consideration will be given to those items that hold significance to the Brazil or Clay County community, such as historical materials or books with local importance that would have a place in the genealogy section of the Brazil Public Library . Donations will be accepted with the explicit understanding that they may or may not be added to the collection. Items not suitable or needed for the collection will be given to the Clay County Friends of the Library for disposal or sale. 

Monetary donations will also be accepted by the Brazil Public Library. When the Library receives a cash gift with the intent to purchase a memorial or tribute, the materials purchased will be based upon the interests of the deceased or the wishes of the donor with the approval of the Library Director.

The Brazil Public Library will not accept donations for display or inclusion in the collection that promote discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, or creed. The Brazil Public Library maintains the right to refuse donations at any time.
