The Rye Free Reading Room wouldn’t exist as it is today without the support of the community. Each year, the City of Rye generously pays a significant portion of the library’s expenses – the rest up to you.
Your donations have a direct impact on meeting the needs of Rye. Last year, we were able to add over 8,000 new items to our collections, renovate the Kids Discovery Zone for play and learning, provide a safe space for teens to gather or study, and expand free digital services for adults.
Your support matters. Whether you visit us regularly, borrow materials online, or simply value your community, become a friend with a donation to our annual campaign of any amount -- $25, $50, $100 -- and join us in offering FREE access to information and resources for all and promoting literacy, culture, and community connections.
Friends get exclusive access to purchase Novel Night tickets, invitations to author meet and greets before the public program, early access to the library book sale, fee-free art exhibits, reduced price meeting room, and more.
