​Walk into any library, and you'll see hope, passion and discovery.
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 this learning possible.  Last year, the Foundation helped the Library reach more than 900,000 visitors, circulate more than 1.2 million items, hold 85,400 public programs and and enroll 60,000 participants in youth programs.  

Your gift will help 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
​
Give today and help us expand the Cambridge Public Library's vital work.
