​The Library Foundation enhances the innovation and reach of the Cambridge Public Library, helping address emerging community needs through private support.

The work of the Foundation is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. Donors to the Foundation help all seven Library branches serve over 950,000 children and adults each year with life-changing programs, books, technology, and literacy initiatives.
