  • 1.  Free art books for libraries from Art Resources Transfer

    Posted Mar 07, 2022 01:55 PM
    Art Resources Transfer's Library Program provides free books on art and culture to public libraries, schools, and incarcerated readers nationwide.
    I'm thrilled to say that we have launched a new website, offering expanded resources and tools for arts and literacy access.
    You can order free books by creating an account here. Our book catalog offers 300+ titles published by leading museums, galleries, and independent presses nationwide. All public institutions that self-define as under-resourced are eligible. Books are free and shipped free of charge.
    We also offer free online teaching guides to help you use books in your educational work. Through A.R.T. Notes, we publish short articles that highlight the work of artists, publishers, and librarians who participate in our program. 
    Please reach out with any questions and comments – we would love to hear how your readers use these books, and feature a photo of your library on our map of Library Program participants.
    Happy reading,
    A.rt R.esources T.ransfer
