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.
Your Gift Goes 2X Further Until December 31
The Library is more than books. It's a lifeline for millions of New Yorkers. Every day, people of all ages turn to us for free e-books, live tutoring, early literacy programs, author talks, and so much more.
These essential services are only possible with your support. Now through December 31, your year-end gift will be doubled, up to $300,000, thanks to a generous anonymous donor.
Give today to support free Library services for everyone in 2026 and beyond. Donate $25 or more, and you'll receive a limited-edition NYPL leather bookmark.*Bookmark color may vary.
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!
