The Atheneum invites you to join us for our major fundraiser!

This annual summer event brings together visionary thought leaders, renowned musicians, and celebrated authors for an unforgettable gathering that celebrates the Nantucket community.

The Weekend at the Library is a celebration of the island’s spirit and the incredible people who make it extraordinary. Over the course of three unforgettable days, we come together for inspiring conversations, world-class music, and thought-provoking exchanges — all in support of a cause that truly matters.

The Atheneum isn’t just a library; it is a vital hub for learning and inspiration for individuals of all ages throughout the year. However, we can’t do it alone — 75% of our operating budget relies on donor support. By attending, sponsoring, or donating, you help keep this essential community resource thriving. We hope you are ready to celebrate and show your support!
