Hickory Library’s Book Wish Program
One Book Does Make a Difference
What is the Book Wish Program?
Simply put: it is a way to donate a book to the library and dedicate that book to someone
in your life. Inside each book, a bookplate will be placed to honor your person or occasion.
We can also send that person a card to announce that a book has been donated in their name.
100% of all funds received go to purchase these books.
This is a generous gift that will be used and appreciated for years to come.

A gift for the Future
Honoring someone through the Book Wish Program is a wonderful way to commemorate any occasion. It is also a direct way to improve one of our most valuable educational resources – Hickory’s library.
Currently, the library only is able to purchase books through monies given by the PTA. 100% of all funds received go to purchase these books.
Books have the amazing ability to enlighten, educate and inspire. We believe that the quality of our library collection and its maintenance is essential. To bring the quality and our quantity of books up to the California school library average we need approximately 1600 more books.
To give some perspective, it’s only two new books per Hickory student.
