Buy an Item for the Library's Collection

Sometimes staff is asked for a list of items that the Library would like to have as a part of its collections. A WISH LIST has been created in an effort to let the public be aware of titles the staff feels would enhance the collections, but, because of cost or budget constraints, the items have not been purchased.

Simply decide which item from the WISH LIST you or your organization or group desires to donate. Next, either purchase the item yourself and bring it to the Library, or make a tax deductible monetary contribution to the Library for the cost of the item and request that a particular title or item be purchased with that contribution. Your tax deductible gift makes the item available to all customers of the Library and greatly enhances the service that the public receives. A great big "THANK YOU" is extended to all who choose to better their community in this special way.

The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family
This epic work tells the story of the Hemingses, whose close blood ties to our third president had been systematically expunged from American history until very recently. Now, historian and legal scholar Annette Gordon-Reed traces the Hemings family from its origins in Virginia in the 1700s to the family's dispersal after Jefferson's death in 1826. It brings to life not only Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson but also their children and Hemings's siblings, who shared a father with Jefferson's wife, Martha. The Hemingses of Monticello sets the family's compelling saga against the backdrop of Revolutionary America, Paris on the eve of its own revolution, 1790s Philadelphia, and plantation life at Monticello. Much anticipated, this book promises to be the most important history of an American slave family ever written.
