The Cambridge Public Library Foundation supports Library programs that EDUCATE, INSPIRE and RESPOND to the needs of our diverse community. 

These programs fall into six broad categories including:
  • Serving young children and teens
  • Expanding adult literacy programs, particularly for immigrants and job seekers
  • Growing our capacity to adopt new technologies and teach digital literacy
  • Deepening our programming in the humanities, arts, sciences and civic and community engagement
  • Preserving and providing access to Cambridge’s historical resources 
  • Generating the capacity to shape new initiatives in a rapidly changing environment  

The Cambridge Public Library Foundation does not raise money for day-to-day Library operations.  The Foundation and the Library collaborate, in strong partnership, to determine where private funds can have the greatest impact. Our work shows just how much a small nonprofit can accomplish together with a great public library.
