Join us for the fourth annual Conservation Night. We will unveil the conserved volumes — books sponsored by generous participants of the 2014 Conservation Night — and present more ailing books for your consideration.

Sponsors for this year’s selections may contribute the full price of restoration work or one or more shares as outlined below. Contributions in any amount will be gratefully accepted and will go toward the books most in need of preservation.  All donations are tax deductible.
