Book donations are accepted twice annually prior to Spring and Fall Friends of the Library book sales. Please check our calendar or call for details.
A donation to the Newburyport Public Library helps support our efforts to meet the informational, educational and recreational needs of the community through open and equal access to cultural, intellectual, recreational, and information resources and programs. Private support allows the Library to achieve what public funding cannot.
Gifts can be made by individuals, corporations, and businesses. Local corporations and businesses have generously supported the Library in a multitude of ways.
Gifts by bequest create a lasting legacy for generations of library users. Over the years, many Library patrons and supporters have remembered the Newburyport Public Library as they prepare or revise their wills. Contact the Head Librarian for more information.
