Makor Library is proud to promote "People Of The Book", a fully tax-deductible gift that makes it possible to have a book dedicated to a person or family by means of a permanent inscription on the inside front cover, and in the library online catalogue.
 |
|
A book dedication is the ideal way to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or any special occasions - while helping the Library with acquisitions of new, contemporary books. Books to be dedicated may cover subjects such as Jewish history and culture, the Holocaust, the State of Israel, children's books or particular topics within Jewish music, art, biography, cookery or sport. |
|
As well as books, the Library also has DVD's, videotapes, music CD's and CD-ROMS all suitable for dedication. A person who has a book dedicated in his/her honour also receives a superb certificate of appreciation designed by accomplished Israeli artist Phyllis Gross. This is a one-off piece commissioned by the Library for the "People Of The Book" project, and will carry the name of the person who is being honoured and the name of the donor, making it an ideal display piece. Prices start from $25.00 (incl.GST). Contact Makor on 9272-5611 for more information. |
