While the City of Boston provides essential baseline funding for our operations and improvements to our facilities, generous contributions from individuals enable the Library to pursue new avenues of innovation, so that we can respond to the dynamic needs of the communities we serve.  Your gift to the Boston Public Library Fund supports our efforts to encourage bold thinking and risk taking.  It positions us to turn brilliant ideas into pilot activities and scale them across multiple neighborhood branches.  Every gift helps ensure the Library remains agile, relevant, and inventive, while remaining completely accessible and free of charge.  With your support, we will imagine and achieve an even better library – and a brighter future for Boston and beyond.
