If you are considering leaving specific items to the Library we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your donation before we receive your legacy to ensure it is consistent with our collection policy.
We recommend that you consult a solicitor to ensure your Will is legally valid, reflects your intentions and is up to date. Should you choose to leave a gift to the Library we suggest that the following wording is used in your Will:
I bequeath to the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion SY23 3BU, registered charity number 525775, [the sum of / % of my residuary estate / item specified] to be used by the National Library at its discretion. I further direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other authorised officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.
