Join Our Journey Towards Peace
The Linen Hall Library is both an historic resource and a powerful force for innovation and change in the cultural and creative life of Northern Ireland. Now, at a time of transition from conflict, we face the biggest challenge of our two hundred year history: to help our society navigate its way through as yet uncharted waters to a firm and lasting peace.
We invite you, whether as an individual or in a corporate capacity, to join us on that journey as an American Friend of the Linen Hall Library.
The American Friends will help us to live up to the high expectations we have of ourselves, and to fulfil the hopes that many of you have for Northern Ireland and Ireland as a whole. It will enable us to strengthen our links with like-minded spirits in the United States, whether by providing increased access to resources, or by mutually beneficial interchange.
