Support!
To join our community of supporters, please visit our donations page. You can find links to current and past supports at the bottom of the page.
Our 2016 annual appeal is open! Your support will enable the Library to continue to be a workshop, a community hub and a resource for artists, writers, researchers, and activists.
Your support covers rent, utilities, archival supplies, and refreshments for volunteers.
The Library’s 2016 budget is $39,828 (full breakdown below).
Please help us to raise at least $35,000 toward these costs! In 2015 our appeal raised over $25,000, enabling a standout year of community engagement and productivity, and this year we’d like to do even better.
Each new donor at the $150 level and above will receive a bound copy of our 2015 Library Yearbook, an image-rich description of 2015 activities, partnerships and acquisitions. The Yearbook is available to everyone as a free PDF download.
Your tax-deductible donation benefits every visitor. Since Fall 2015 we have more than doubled our open days and provided services to a record number of visitors. Please help us do more!
Your support can be for any amount whatsoever, even $10. Or:
$100 per year sponsors one shelf plus its affiliated ephemera boxes. • $250 per year sponsors three shelves of books plus affiliated ephemera. • $500 per year also gets a handmade gift from us! • $1,000 per year and up sponsors a section like “Urban Studies” or “Radio History,” and also gets your choice from a special sponsors’ menu, including private film screenings, illustrated talks and handmade gifts. • Any “angels” out there who would like to revolutionize our accessibility by helping us to redevelop this budget to support a staff librarian position, please get directly in touch with us.
