Buy a New Book for the Library

Princeton Loves to Read. You Can Help.

Each year the Library relies on private donations, late fines, rental fees, and support from the Friends of the Library to grow our children's and adult collections.

Your charitable donation ensures that we have sufficient copies of the books and media materials you want to borrow.

Gifts "in memory of" or "in honor of" a special person or occasion are gratefully accepted and can be recognized with a personalized bookplate in each item for which a minimum of $25 is contributed. Also, your honoree is sent a note that a gift to the Library has been made in his or her name.
