Supporting Your Company: Giving to the Library Company

 

The library that once served our founding fathers now serves the nation as an internationally renowned research center. Since the days of Franklin, the collection has grown carefully and considerably and today consists of over half a million rare books, manuscripts, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, and photographs, making the Library Company the region's largest collection of printed and graphic materials relating to early American history.

 

Benjamin Franklin had high expectations for the Library Company – to serve everyday people who could not individually build a library but who collectively could develop a significant collection. Some 275 years later, the Library Company continues to serve this purpose and is proud to be member-supported since 1731.
