Support FNL
You can help the FNL in many different ways and help us to continue to help national and university libraries, county record offices and museums to acquire printed books, manuscripts and archives.
Please help the FNL in one or more of the following ways:
- Become a Member and join the FNL. As a Member you will enjoy a range of benefits - these are detailed in the Join Us section. Just email us if you would like to join.
- Make a single donation of any amount by sending a cheque or a CAF cheque, made payable to “Friends of the National Libraries”, to us at PO Box 4291 Reading RG8 9JA
- Make your subscription or donation more effective by signing a Gift Aid Declaration - you can download the FNL Gift Aid form here: fnl_giftaid_it_fillable_form.pdf
- Leave the FNL a legacy. Over the years, we have benefited from the generosity of many members who have made the FNL a beneficiary of their Will. Leaving a legacy is now more cost-effective than ever: since April 2012 any estate that leaves at least 10% to a charitable cause will be able to take advantage of a cut in inheritance tax from 40% down to 36%. For more information just download the notes attached here or contact us through this website. fnl_legacy_information.pdf
Please note that our new address is PO Box 4291, Reading, Berkshire, RG8 9JA (and our old address at the British LIbrary)
