Clarion Free Library offers a special way to remember or honor a special person, group, or milestone. Memorial and honor donations support the purchase of new books and materials for the Clarion Free Library, while serving as a lasting tribute to the person or group you wish to commemorate. Each book will include a plate with the name of the person or group being honored as well as the name(s) of the donor. A card will also be sent to the family of the person being honored.

The library accepts gently used books, dvds, and audiobooks. The books may be added to the collection or given to the Friends of the Library to support our year round book sale. Items to be added to the collection are at the determination of library staff and our collection development policy. We are unable to accept encyclopedias or textbooks.
