Adopt a Book
The Cape Breton Regional Library is a nonprofit organization that provides its community with current information, technology and entertainment. Membership is free of charge and open to all residents of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality and Victoria County.
Since the library opened in 1950, people in our community have helped to nourish and support the library. By adopting a book, you can help us to build a strong collection of books and continue to show your support for this community institution. For more information about giving to the library, contact us at rgillis@nssc.library.ns.ca.

Adopt-a-Book Donors
The Cape Breton Regional Library and the community it serves has a richer collection of library books to choose from thanks to the generosity of the many individuals and organizations within our communities who have donated to the Adopt-A-Book campaign. Through the support of our donors, the library was able to add a variety of books to our libraries that we could not otherwise have purchased.
How To Adopt-A-Book
- Go to the Adopt-A-Book list for your branch library (see above). You
will find titles, authors and costs of books, along with the type of
book it is, such as adult fiction (AF) or junior non-fiction (JNF).
Make the selection you want.
- Fill out the Adopt-A-Book Order Form
and donate the cost of the book(s), either through the mail to the
address below or at your local library.
- When we receive your donation, we will place a bookplate in the book with the inscription you want, and then send it to your library branch, where it will be housed. You get to borrow the book first and we send you a charitable tax receipt for the amount of your gift.
You can adopt a book at any of our thirteen branches or two bookmobiles. The book you choose will stay in that library branch. When choosing the inscription for your adopted book you can adopt the book:
- In memory of a loved one
- Anonymously
- On behalf of yourself or someone else
- As a group or as a member of a group
- As a unique present for the person who has everything on birthdays, anniversaries, retirement
