Annual Fund

Walk into any of the library's seven branches, and you'll see passion, discovery and learning.
First-time parents are transforming themselves into confident primary teachers, and struggling students are becoming strong independent readers. Teens across our community are stretching their creative muscles with access to cutting edge STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) opportunities , and people of all ages and walks of life are experiencing life-changing discoveries.

Gifts to the Cambridge Public Library Foundation, large and small, make these opportunities possible.

Your gift helps the library:

Give all babies and toddlers an equal chance at literacy
Expand adult literacy programs for job seekers & immigrants
Grow our capacity to adopt new technology and teach digital literacy
Deepen our programming in the arts, sciences and humanities
Pivot and respond to changing health directives around COVID-19

Give today and help us expand the Cambridge Public Library's vital work.

Foundation funding supported Kids Books to Go!, a popular book giveaway initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic.
