Policy Details
The naming of a room or facility in recognition of a significant financial donor or individual is a decision that requires special consideration by the Library Board of the value and benefits of such recognition and the suitability of the room or facility for such recognition purposes.
Recommendations for the naming of a room or facility after an individual may be considered to honour the individual’s contribution to the Hamilton Public Library; the naming of a room or facility may also be considered in recognition of a significant financial donation to the Hamilton Public Library.
