Lending Library Donation Drive: 2025

Calling all packrats! Do you have any art supplies, books, or magazines gathering dust in the corner of your studio? Did you inherit a collection that you’ll never get to using? Did you buy a giant floor loom thinking that this was the year you’d finally get into weaving only to leave it untouched for half a decade?

If this oddly specific scenario (or the more general one) applies to you, keep reading!

ArtsLink NB is organizing our second annual donation drive for the lending library! Our lending library provides members with free rentals of books and equipment to help their artistic careers. We have over 700 books and 50 pieces of equipment, but we’re looking to expand.

We are looking for donations of new or gently used:

Documentation equipment (cameras, lights, tripods, recorders, etc)
Presentation equipment (screens, projectors, speakers, microphones)
Creation equipment (easels, presses, light tables, paper cutters, etc)
Books about art theory, technique or history
Books about business
Exhibition catalogues for New Brunswick or Canadian exhibitions
Books by local publishers
Books about or by New Brunswick artists
