You could purchase one book or more in someone’s name and then inform the recipient of your gift. The library’s wish list is on Amazon. It shows the fiction list if you are not signed in to Amazon.

Here you'll find all sorts of Christmas gifts, including gift cards, meat packages, cases of canned meat, candy and cookie baking kits plus prime ribs, ham loaf and holiday hams.
