How we handle

• Accepted materials will be cataloged and preserved based on library's shelving rules. Generally, they will not be grouped or shelved as a collection.

• Partial of donated books or materials not included into library collection will be donated or otherwise disposed of by the library.

• Based on the principle of data minimisation, the library does not retain the donor's personal information and the list of recipients' information. So it is unable to track the subsequent processing flow of donated material.

How do donate
