Adopt an Author

Be the first to read your favorite author!

Join our Adopt an Author Program! When your adopted author publishes a new book, we’ll order it and add it to our collection. You sponsor that book with a donation to the library to cover the cost of the book (usually 45% off retail!) and you’ll be the first to read that new title and will be recognized with a plate in the book! This is a wonderful way to support the East Hampton Public Library.

The Cost:

Cost of the book (usually 45% off retail!)

The Benefits:

Be the first to read your favorite author’s new books
Less expensive than buying the book yourself
Support your local library
Share your favorite author(s) with the community
Recognition with a special bookplate inside the book

If you ever want to cancel your adopt an author sponsorship, please just let us know.
