Become a Member

Why be a member of Ivoryton Library? Members are invited to vote at the association’s annual meeting, attend special membership events, and more!

Ivoryton Library is one of the oldest member libraries in the state. When the association was formed in 1871, each member paid $1 each, which was used to buy books stored in the Main Street home of Samuel Cheney. In 1889, the association had raised enough money to construct and dedicate the building we now know as Ivoryton Library. The organization was built by its membership and has sustained itself for over 150 years because of the community members who invest time, energy, and funding into its mission. Join our association and become a part of Ivoryton Library’s legacy!

The association offers a range of membership options. All gifts to the library are meaningful and support the programs and collections available to the community.
