I. Donations to collections
VTC Library welcomes donation and gifts of books, manuscripts, archives, non-print materials, photos and other library materials that will support the Library's education and research mission. Once the gift is donated to VTC Library, they become the property of the Learning Resources Centre. If you wish to donate items other than Library materials, please contact us for the special arrangement.
