Adopt a Book Gift Tin

The books in Harewood’s libraries include both rare and highly personal volumes which reflect the varied interests of the Lascelles family over the last 250 years, including art and design. Harewood House was created by some of the leading artists and craftspeople of the 18th century. Over the years the Lascelles family have continued to commission and collect art, and today Harewood is home to works by some of Britain’s most celebrated artists and designers, such as JMW Turner, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Chippendale. 

A book adoption is the perfect gift for anyone who loves books and libraries, or is a great way to make a valuable contribution to their conservation yourself.

• Welcome Letter from our Director of Collections
• Updates from our Collections Care Team
• Adoptee’s name recorded in designated Donation Register, to be kept in the Harewood Library

As an Accredited Museum in the heart of Yorkshire, our mission is to use our collections to support our communities, enrich lives, keep heritage relevant and work with creative minds to provoke new perspectives on art, nature and culture.
