The Grolier Club was established in 1884 by a group of seven New York City book collectors with the object, as stated its constitution, "of literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books." It sponsors free public exhibitions, some lecture, and publications. The Library emphasizes the book arts and maintains an outstanding collection of book auction and dealers' catalogues from North America and Europe. The Library is a resource for members and is open to researchers by appointment.
