Join your neighbors on National Library Giving Day and help raise $75,000 for programming at the Central Library and 25 branches!
Love Your Branch
Branches are the hearts of Boston’s neighborhoods. Treasured by the communities they serve, these spaces deliver valuable, engaging programming within walking or biking distance of every Boston resident. Families enjoy movie nights. Children meet their favorite authors. Neighbors gather to connect over shared hobbies. Teens discover new video games and new friends. Writers, artists, and musicians share their creations with the community. New immigrants attend citizenship classes and enhance their job skills. No other civic or cultural organization has the power to improve the lives of so many while remaining, free to all.
Show Your Pride
On April 3, National Library Giving Day, show your neighborhood pride and empower the branches to remain vibrant centers of knowledge, creativity, and connection for years to come.Â
The idea is a simple yet effective one – your gift to the Boston Public Library Fund is an investment in the city’s neighborhoods. By rallying together to raise $75,000 for programming initiatives at the Central Library and its 25 branches, we’re ensuring the vitality of these essential community hubs.
