Athenæum Young Patrons

Young Patrons of the Boston Athenæum

Members who are 35 years of age or younger are eligible for the special membership group called Young Patrons. Not only is this membership offered at a reduced rate, but we also provide special programming each year to the Athenæum's Young Patrons.

We have two levels of Young Patron Membership:

• $200 Young Patron Individual Membership—for an individual 35 years of age or younger
• $225 Young Patron Family Membership—for a couple or household, where at least one member of the couple is 35 years of age or younger. These family memberships include library cards for all children living in the household at no additional cost.

To join as a Young Patron of the Boston Athenæum please complete an online application or print out an application and mail it to us.
