The Newberry welcomes donations of items that will extend, strengthen, and complement the library’s collection. Potential donations are reviewed by Newberry staff to determine their appropriateness to the collection and their place within the library’s collecting emphases. If you are considering a gift of materials to the Newberry, please contact our curators or email collecting@newberry.org.
