Collection Drive/Donation Boxes in the Library

The McNichols Campus Library allows for one collection drive or donation box in the Library at a time. Prior to requesting a collection drive/donation box reservation, please note the following guidelines. 

Reservations are limited to:

  • Members of the University of Detroit Mercy community (student groups, programs, etc.) for the time and date confirmed.
     
  • One reservation/box per group/program per academic year. All boxes must be picked up prior to Finals Week (dates vary but finals are in December and April).
     
  • First floor of McNichols Campus Library.
     
  • Two weeks per group. Optional additional week may be granted pending availability.

Collection boxes must clearly display:

  • name and contact information of sponsoring group or program;
     
  • purpose of collection;
     
  • description of what is being collected;
     
  • deadline to donate; and
     
  • any other relevant information.

Please note:

  • Reservations must be confirmed by a library employee. You will receive an email confirmation upon library approval.
     
  • A representative from the sponsoring organization must check the collection box weekly to ensure the box is not overfull and collect items accordingly. 
     
  • Boxes must be picked up within 24 hours of reservation end date. If end date falls on a Friday, the box may be picked up Monday.
