MATCHING GIFTS

Many companies match charitable gifts made by their employees. Please check if your employer will match your gift to the Athenæum and obtain a matching gift form to submit with your donation.

Book Donations

Gifts of new books, magazine and newspaper subscriptions, and used books are gratefully accepted.  All items will be considered for the collections.  Volumes which are not accessioned will be sold to fund collections care and development.  Please no encyclopedia sets.  An annual book sale is normally held the first Saturday in October; however, donations are accepted all year during open hours.

Memorial gifts allow the library to purchase material not available through the regular budget and are a special way to pay tribute to a friend or loved one.  All memorial books receive a personalized book plate.
