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.

Past Shows

NLM Traveling Exhibitions

These exhibitions were developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, with research assistance from the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.

Phone Use in the Library

Cell phones may be left on while in the Library, however we request that you set your phone to vibrate rather than ring.

For your convenience the Library has designated the Library Commons area as a telephone conversation zone. This includes the front room of the Library by the windows that face York Avenue.
