Attention Librarians and Library Patrons!
Introducing you to the
Theosophical Book Gift Institute
|
For over half a century the Theosophical Book Gift Institute (T.B.G.I.) has been providing accredited
libraries across the United States with theosophical books, and video and audiotapes free of charge. This
innovative program was conceived and activated in 1946 by a few farsighted individuals of the
Theosophical Society in America. In the years that followed a dedicated member of the Society,
Edith Gray, traveled throughout the country to small towns and large cities offering local
libraries a variety of theosophical publications as a gift. She was quite successful in her
efforts. Upon her death, T.B.G.I. received a bequest from her estate that enabled the program
to continue. |
Today, many years later, T.B.G.I. is still partially supported with funding from the Gray estate.
Additional funding is provided by the Kern Foundation and from individuals who recognize the great
value of having theosophical books in our nation’s libraries.
|
The Theosophical Book Gift Institute is an independent theosophical organization administered from
the National Headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America. The Institute’s activities are
guided by a Board of Directors, each of whom is required to be a member of the Theosophical
Society.
Over the decades T.B.G.I. has shipped hundreds of thousands of theosophical hardcover and quality
paperback books to America’s libraries. Libraries incur no charges whatsoever. The costs of the
books and shipping are paid by T.B.G.I.. Librarians are encouraged to request our latest list of
available titles at the address below. |
