Your participation in our Honor with Books program enables the Binghamton University Libraries to meet the ever-increasing demands placed on an institution of excellence in higher education.

books from Special CollectionsWith each $60 gift to the Honor with Books program, a book in the subject area of your choosing will be purchased. Books in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematical sciences and computer sciences are in the Glenn G. Bartle Library. The pure and applied sciences and the University’s map collection are housed in the Science Library. A bookplate bearing the name of the person you are honoring will be placed in your book, and a letter of acknowledgement will be sent to the family or friend being recognized.

Each time someone opens your donated book, your special person will be acknowledged.

Help the University Libraries strengthen their collection while honoring a loved one, friend, special teacher or colleague in perpetuity. Make a gift to the Honor with Books program.
