NAMING OPPORTUNITIES POLICY

Adopted by Spokane Public Library Board of Trustees on October 18, 2016.

1. GENERAL

The Spokane Public Library may recognize the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and any other donors by a naming right to a collection, branch or portion of a branch. Naming opportunities are available to honor a person or person(s) significance service to the Library or to the community. The Spokane Public Library Board of Trustees has the sole authority to name all library branches, collections or facility portions. The Executive Director will recommend all naming opportunities and inquires to the Trustees for consideration. Due to the significant importance of naming portions of a public facility, the Trustees reserve the right to decline any gift or reject any naming proposals.

2. NAMING OPPORTUNITIES

All naming requests and donations will be assessed on an individual basis by the Trustees and voted on at a regularly scheduled monthly meeting. The naming request will be determined by the significance of gift and the community contributions by the individual(s), organization or foundation. The Trustees reserve the right to terminate or alter a naming designation if unusual or extraordinary circumstances arise. The Trustees will not grant any naming rights after a living person.
