The library accepts donations of theological books in good physical condition. Please contact the librarian before sending a donation to the seminary to discuss whether it will be a fruitful addition to the library's collection. The library will send a letter acknowledging the donation for tax purposes and provide a list of items in the donation if needed. Selections will be made from the donation for the library. Items not needed at St Vladimir's will be distributed to other Eastern Orthodox libraries: St Herman Seminary (Kodiak, AK), St Nersess Armenian Seminary (New Rochelle, NY), St Tikhon’s Seminary (S. Canaan, PA), Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Seminary (Brookline, MA) and Antiochian Village Library (Ligonier, PA).
