Join the Bibliophilanthropy Association

Bibliophilanthropists?
Bibliophiles love or admire books. Philanthropists have a desire to help others through gifts to worthy causes. So we have made up a new word, bibliophilanthropist, to describe the alumni, parents, and friends who provide gifts for books and library resources to benefit Wartburg students.

We’re looking for a cadre of Wartburg bibiophilanthropists to provide a continuing source of regular revenue for library resources that support a quality liberal arts education. We call it the Wartburg Bibliophilanthropy Association.

Gifts to the Bibliophilanthropy Association have added 878 books to the Vogel Library since the first appeal in Fall 2004. Equally important, friends of the library have contributed toward an array of electronic resources vital to education in the 21st century.

The average academic book costs $75. Please make that the basis of your annual gift. But don't stop there. Consider funding multiple books or targeting your gift toward electronic resources that help Wartburg support a quality liberal arts education for our students.

How to donate to the Bibliophilanthropy Association:

Step 1. Submit your donation through the online giving form.

Step 2. Complete a bookplate card. A bookplate with your name will be provided in each book you donate to the library.
