You’re thinking of adopting a book? That’s great news!

Lincoln Cathedral is home to over 20,000 historic books some dating from around 1500. Adopting a book at Lincoln Cathedral makes for a perfect gift, and what’s more, supports the important work of conservation and restoration of these books.

Following Government advice, the Fundraising Team are currently out of the office. As a result, there will be a delay to delivery of adoption packs until staff are able to return to work as usual.

 

What will I receive?
When you adopt a book at Lincoln Cathedral, you will receive an adoption pack containing:

  • An image of the bookplate
  • An adoption certificate
  • A dedication certificate in either your name or a gift recipient's name, with a message of your choosing
  • An information sheet about the library at Lincoln Cathedral

What's more, you'll also receive a great feeling inside because you've done something really positive to support a charity!

Delivery
There is no charge for delivery and we aim to dispatch the packs within a few days, but at busier times such as December, please allow extra time. You can opt to have the pack sent to yourself, or straight to another recipient.
