Give a Gift to every New Yorker this Holiday season


That’s the number of individuals who visit us every year –both in person and online.

YOUR Library is much more than a place to take out books, dvds and cds. It provides essential services that thousands of New Yorkers count on every day. Help in finding a job…free access to the internet…literacy classes …and children’s story hours.

But YOUR Library has been hit hard by the downturn in the economy. We’re doing more with less—a leaner staff serving an increasing number of users with fewer new books.

Please donate to the 2009 Give a Gift to Every New Yorker Campaign. Help us raise $165,000 by the end of December so that we won’t have to make further cuts.


Here is what some New Yorkers had to say about using the Library. Your gift can open the door of knowledge…change a life…make New York a better place.
