Even though the Athenaeum is now open for browsing, we will continue to offer no-contact delivery and lobby or curbside pickup of books Tuesday through Saturday.

Search the Catalogue for books.

Submit your request on the form, indicating your delivery/pick up preferences. We will contact you to confirm availability of the books and to finalize delivery/pickup arrangements. Please do not arrive at the Athenaeum for pickup unless you have heard from us. Pick up will be from a table in the lobby. You may also leave returns in the mailbox or on the table in the indicated area.

Please send questions to books@salemathenaeum.net.

If the online form gives you trouble, you can download this editable PDF form, complete it, and email to books@salemathenaeum.net.
