Summary
The Beaver Island District Library solicited Endowment Fund donations in August 2022 for engraved wooden book spines and continued the appeal in November under a “Benefactor’s Bookshelf” notice. Donations received by August 31 were to be placed on a Founder’s Shelf; later donations would be placed on Friends or Staff shelves.
Evidence limits
The notice establishes the fundraising offer and prices, not the amount raised or whether the shelves were installed as planned.
