NYPL is a top-rated charity
As the third-largest library system in the world, our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen our communities.
From a child discovering a favorite book for the first time to a job seeker finding resources to build a new future, the right book can change a life. And demand for books and e-books is higher than ever, especially in communities with the greatest need.
It takes just $20 to add a new book to the Library’s collection. Give by October 31 and your gift will be doubled, providing twice the number of books for readers across the city. As a special thank you, you'll receive a custom bookplate sticker to mark your role in building a stronger, more knowledgeable New York. *Bookplate sticker color may vary.
