Dibner Library welcomes the donation of gently used books and media that fall within the scope of the library's current collecting priorities in support of the institution's teaching and research mission.

The library reserves the right to decline material and to determine retention, cataloging treatment, location, and terms of use for the material accepted. The library is unable to provide appraisals for tax purposes; cost estimates are the responsibility of the donor. We do provide written acknowledgement of gifts.

For information on donating archival materials, please refer to the NYU-Poly Archives.

Donations may be dropped off at the library at any time, although it is highly recommended that those wishing to donate larger collections contact us ahead of time.
