Give to the Library
Your gift to the State Library helps us to build, protect and share your heritage in many ways.
Give children access to historic materials that change the way they think about the world. Sponsor an exhibition that breaks new ground. Support scholarship that deepens knowledge of the Library collections. Help us acquire a new treasure, or conserve old ones.
We rely heavily on your generosity to ensure everyone has the opportunity to read, think, create, explore and challenge ideas. Please consider making a gift today.
