The Boston Public Library Fund fuels the experimentation and innovation necessary to ensure that our library not only addresses the broad needs of our communities, but empowers the people of Boston to shape and realize an audacious future for our city and beyond. The Fund isn’t about nice-to-haves. It’s about innovative services that promote social and economic equity. It’s about ensuring that the BPL’s world-class spaces and collections are preserved and accessible for generations. It’s about upholding our obligation to safeguard the freedoms and rights fundamental to democracy. And it’s about creating new ways for people to strengthen their community by immersing themselves in their passions, encountering new ideas, and broadening their horizons.
