The Call to Action
During National Library Week, we’re celebrating the ever-evolving role of the Boston Public Library (BPL) as an urban, public institution, and rallying our community to help us raise over $100,000 in much-needed funding. As a dynamic place of learning, a space for community gathering, and a catalyst for democracy, our public library serves patrons of all ages and from all walks of life.
By offering our support through a shared philanthropic goal, we can raise our collective voice and shout out the importance of the BPL as a resource where books will never be banned, access to information is always free, and opportunity is just a library card away.

There's More to the Story
At the Boston Public Library, there’s always more to the story: more to discover in Special Collections; more to learn in the Nutrition Lab; more to explore in the Children’s Library; and much more than a paradise of books for those seeking essential information and resources. Be sure to follow along all week as we highlight the stories, treasures, programs, and services that make the Boston Public Library the unparalleled community resource it is today.
