Donate to the Library's Honor with Books Program

Honor with Books - Give a Gift. Leave a Legacy.

The Honor with Books program is for those who wish to honor their loved ones, a colleague, professor or mentor, or special occasion, with a gift to the library. In these days of shrinking book budgets, your gift will help to ensure resources for future generations of library users. It will also remain as a lasting tribute to your loved one, whose name will appear inside the verso of a cherished library volume long after he or she has left these hallowed halls.

Confidentiality of Library Records Policy

Background Information

Because privacy rights of individuals have recently been threatened by private and public institutions, the New York Library Association has taken the initiative to protect first amendment rights through adoption of an Association Policy on the Confidentiality of Library Records. Governor Cuomo of New York signed into law Chapter 112 of the Laws of 1988, which protects confidentiality of library records of users throughout New York State.
