If your holiday gift shopping routine has been complicated by the pandemic, you’re far from alone. Fortunately, a variety of libraries public and private, in the United States and abroad, still have online gift shops that support library collections and programs and are open for business, no mask required (though several do sell cute ones). In addition to the pictured items unique to each location and collection, they all carry a curated selection of more general gifts calculated to appeal to book and library lovers of all ages—and at all budgets.

USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL

The Morgan Library and Museum boasts a whole line of Morgan Exclusives based on their collection, including Alice in Wonderland mugs perfect for a Mad Zoom Tea Party. Sadly Mr. Morgan's Tea: 1906 Library Blend is not currently available to fill them, but we love that the description names Morgan‘s librarian, Belle da Costa Greene.

Library of Congress wristlet is neoprene with faux leather trim. 3.5"x5.5".

Brooklyn Public Library tote celebrates the branches, not just the iconic main. Adorable dog not included.

This 20-oz. water bottle features a soothing natural scene from the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.

Calgary Public Library’s Open for All umbrella, inspired by its Central Library, is a limited edition.

Escape Map Silk Scarf is a replica of a military escape map held in the Bodleian Libraries. They were printed on silk so they could be concealed easily on the body and would still be serviceable when wet to the WWII British flyers who carried them.

The Los Angeles Public Library teamed with L.A. artist Gajin Fujita to create a limited-edition library card featuring a detail of his painting, “Guardian Angel,” also appearing on this 5"x7" softcover notebook.

STOCKING STUFFERS

We could all use some Patience and Fortitude this year, but if you’re full up on New York Public Library’s iconic lion merchandise already, or can’t afford $150 for bookends, this bright cheerful enamel pin might be just the ticket.

San Diego Public Library’s charming shop features very short stories in a matchbook.

This 150-piece Library Card Micro Puzzle packaged in a test tube was created for the British Library and comes complete with a 1981 British Library seal.

JUST FOR FUN

Big spender? Just bought a new white house and need to decorate it? The JFK Presidential Library sells a replica of the Resolute Desk for $6,999. (Member price is $700 less, which makes the $45 membership an excellent bargain.)
