We're all Drawn to the Library

"At a time when many adults didn’t understand the value of hobbies like mine, it was the libraries—and the dedicated people who worked there—that gave me the encouragement to pursue my art without hesitation."

Support the Boston Public Library: Help Us Raise $100,000 for National Library Week

National Library Week is a time to celebrate the invaluable role libraries play in our communities, providing access to knowledge, resources, and opportunities for all. As we highlight the many reasons that people are drawn to the Boston Public Library in Copley Square and its 25 neighborhood branches, we are working towards an ambitious goal of raising $100,000 in essential funding to ensure that the BPL continues to thrive and meet the growing needs of our patrons. We hope you will show your support during National Library Week to help us achieve this goal.

With your generous contribution, you’re helping to ensure that the Boston Public Library remains a cornerstone of learning, creativity, and connection for everyone who walks through its doors.

Thank you for supporting the Boston Public Library during National Library Week!

What Draws You to the BPL?

Celebrate the Boston Public Library by sharing what draws you in! Whether it’s the quiet reading spaces, the wealth of resources, or the vibrant community programs, we want to hear what makes the BPL special to you. Add a sticky note to our wall with your thoughts, and take a moment to read what others love about our library. It’s a fun way to connect with fellow visitors and celebrate all the amazing things the BPL has to offer.

Plus, by adding a note, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a BPL Fund swag bag! It’s our way of saying thank you for helping us celebrate the library that brings our community together.

There's Always More to the Picture

At the Boston Public Library, there’s always more that draws you in: more to explore in Special Collections, more to discover in the Nutrition Lab, and more to inspire young minds in the Children’s Library. No matter where you are in life, the library offers resources and programs for everyone—whether you’re seeking knowledge, creativity, or community. This week, we invite you to follow along as we showcase the many ways the Boston Public Library connects, supports, and empowers people at every stage of their journey. There’s always more waiting for you at the library!
