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.
Government funding pays only a portion of the Library's expenses. This year especially, support from generous individuals like you will sustain the essential remote resources that now support readers across the city, including increased access to e-books, remote learning and tutoring, author talks, early literacy programs, and so much more. Your gift helps keep these vital services FREE for all New Yorkers.
Thanks to support from an anonymous donor, every dollar you donate will be doubled, but only until midnight December 31! As a thank you, we'll send you a limited Knowledge Is Power bookmark.

Match limit: $300,000
Thank you! Can you help us offer even more books, classes, programs, and more by turning part of your donation into a monthly gift?
As a special thank you, we’ll send you an exclusive NYPL tote bag!
