Dear Friend,
​

This month is all about giving thanks – thanks for the people and places in our life that nurture and sustain us, and thanks for our many blessings. So many people are thankful for the Cambridge Public Library – whether it’s children getting their first library cards, immigrants taking free English classes, students finding respite in the historic reading room (pictured above), or unhoused families getting services from the library’s social worker.

As we make our way toward the end of the calendar year, please consider expressing your gratitude for the library by joining us at an upcoming world-class event like DREAM BIG on December 8th, purchasing a book for Cambridge's Liberation Libraries, or by making a fully tax-deductible gift to the Library Foundation today or on Giving Tuesday (November 29).
​
Thank you for your support.

Please join us on December 8, 2022 for DREAM BIG, a special joint program of the Library Foundation and the Cambridge Public Library. This highly-anticipated annual event is finally returning after a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic.

This discussion will center around the reinvention of journalism to support democracy and a more equitable and sustainable world with the following luminaries:
  • David Bornstein: an award-winning journalist and the co-founder and CEO of Solutions Journalism.

  • Deborah Douglas: co-editor in chief of The Emancipator, a collaboration between the Boston Globe and BU’s Center for Antiracist Research.

  • Amanda Ripley: a New York Times bestselling author, an investigative journalist, and the co-founder of Good Conflict.

Read more about these panelists and claim your tickets for the in-person program or livestream from home. This event is free for all.

Tuesday, November 29th

Giving Tuesday is a movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world! After being tested in so many ways over the past two years, the Cambridge Public Library is stronger than ever, supporting every member of our community and upholding democracy (the library hosted early voting at two branches, from October 22nd through November 4th. Now that's civic engagement!).

Thank you to our generous donors -- and those making gifts for the first time -- our library is fortified for whatever lies ahead. 


If you believe in the power of libraries and in their importance to our community, please consider making your fully tax-deductible gift now, before the rush at the end of the year. We are deeply grateful for your support.

As you start your holiday shopping, don’t forget that turning your Amazon purchases into money for the library is as easy as smiling. 

AmazonSmile is a simple way to support the library at no cost to you. Instead of going directly to Amazon.com, try smile.Amazon.com, an Amazon website with the same pricing and shopping features. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases goes straight to the charitable organization of your choice.

On your first visit to AmazonSmile, select the Cambridge Public Library Foundation and use your regular account and password. The website will remember that you’ve selected the library, and every purchase you make will result in a donation. Thank you for your support!
