<p>If you are looking at naming rights, whether for the entire library, or portions of it, I suggest you look at the article <a title="naming rights revenue" href="http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/brasspubs/publibbrief/no291q2014" target="_blank">Naming Rights as Revenue Generators</a> (from RUSA).  Perhaps you have experience with naming rights at your organization.  Please share in the comments!</p>
