The Local Author Collection, located at the Main Library, includes donated, print works by local
authors. Local authors are defined as authors who currently reside, or who have spent a
significant part of their lives, in Union County or adjacent counties.

The Library may accept one donated copy of a local author’s work to be reviewed by the Library
staff for inclusion in the collection. All donated works are subject to the same criteria for
selection and removal as other materials. Donations must be submitted with a completed Local
Author Collection Agreement. The author must represent and warrant full ownership and legal
rights to publish the material.
