It’s not too late to help us “Stock the Stacks”!

Thank you for helping us to celebrate the power of words on #GivingTuesday! Still want to contribute? It’s not too late to help us Stock the Stacks where your donation will directly support new books and materials for our library! Click here to help Stock the Stacks!


On #GivingTuesday, Nov. 28, the Camden Public Library is asking for donations for new books and materials through its “Stock the Stacks” fund. Give $25 or more to place a name on a library bookplate in honor of someone special to you.

The power of words can help strengthen our community and bring us together. Supporting that effort, the library seeks to meet the high demand for new books and relevant materials. Whether in-person, by curbside, homebound delivery, or online, Camden librarians are delivering about 19,000 items every month! A donation of $25 will buy one hardcover book and $75 buys one e-book.

“Donating to bring in new books and materials is a powerful way that you can help the library this holiday season,” said Camden Public Library Executive Director Nikki Maounis. “With your Giving Tuesday gift, our library can strengthen the power of words in our community in the new year to come.”

It’s easy to support Stock the Stacks, either in-person at the library or on your device wherever you are at librarycamden.org/stockthestacks. Donations can be sent by check, made out to the “Camden Public Library Fund,” to ATTN: Stock the Stacks, Camden Public Library, 55 Main Street, Camden, ME 04843.
