Adopt a book at the British Library

Cory Doctorow 2:13 pm Tue Jan 13, 2004

The British Library's "Adopt-a-Book" program lets you pick out a favored text from among the famous collection and make a donation that's earmarked for that specific book's upkeep and preservation. If you give enough money, they'll even put a plate in the book to tell people who request the books at the library's reading rooms that you, personally are responsible for that book's ongoing presence on the shelf.

Support the Adopt a Book apppeal and you can help us to protect the world's knowledge. Preserving one book can cost as little as £25 and up to £5,000 or more. Through your contribution, you will play a vital role in the conservation of our heritage. The books available for adoption have recently been conserved and your donation will help us care for even more titles in need.
