How to help
Three ways. Two are free. All three are what a Society Librarian is supposed to be doing.
Support the C.A.R. Library
The N.S.C.A.R. Library in Washington, D.C. holds material on the colonial era, the Revolution, and after, plus the writings of founder Harriett Mulford Lothrop (N.S.C.A.R. Headquarters).
Book gifts are not simply mailed in. The handbook directs you to write the Senior National Librarian first, describe the gift, and request a gift form (C.A.R. Handbook). Money gifts go through official channels; checks payable to N.S.C.A.R.

What is a Society Librarian, anyway?
C.A.R. state and society bylaws define the office as promoting the N.S.C.A.R. Library and encouraging members and friends to support it (N.C.S.C.A.R. handbook).
