The Bestow-A-Book bookplate program allows you to purchase books for the New Orleans Public Library in honor or in memory of a loved one, a friend or family member. The cost of one book is $35.
Each book purchased will have a bookplate with the names of the honoree and the donor (optional). The books will remain in circulation 4-5 years. The honoree will receive a letter informing them of your gift.
