The Grolier Club: Celebrating the Art & History of the Book Since 1884
Founded
in 1884, the Grolier Club is America’s oldest and largest society for
bibliophiles and enthusiasts in the graphic arts. Named for Jean Grolier (1489/90-1565), the Renaissance collector renowned for sharing his library with
friends, the Club’s objective is to promote “the study, collecting, and
appreciation of books and works on paper.” Through the concerted efforts of an
international network of over eight hundred men and women—book and print
collectors, antiquarian book dealers, librarians, designers, fine printers,
binders, and other artisans—the Grolier Club pursues this mission through its
library, its public exhibitions and lectures, and its long and distinguished
series of publications.
Exhibition Gallery Hours: Monday-Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm.
Library Hours (By Appointment Only): Monday-Friday, 10 am - 5 pm.
