Giving

The City College Libraries thanks you for your potential donation. Monetary gifts of any amount contribute greatly to the development of the collections and the Libraries’ programming, outreach, teaching, and operations. We are actively looking to build our endowments, and our Associate Dean and Chief Librarian would be happy to discuss this further with you. The Associate Dean’s office can be reached at (212) 650-7271. To give directly to CCNY Libraries, please use the online donation form, and make sure to select “CCNY Libraries” when designating the recipient of your funds. 

Donating Materials

The CCNY Libraries accept limited donations of books and other physical materials, and no longer accept donations of entire personal libraries. Exceptions may be made per the recommendation of the subject specialist or the Associate Dean and Chief Librarian. Please refer to the CCNY Libraries’ Collection Development Policy for further information. Rare books, archives, or other special collections material will be evaluated on a case by case basis by Archives and Special Collections faculty, please review their Collection Development Policy for thematic interests, focus, and scope.
