Annual Fund

Click below to donate!

Each year the Library Board of Trustees strives to raise significant funds to close the gap between the dollars our town budget can provide and the much higher funding mandated by the State of Massachusetts to continue the certification of our libraries. Help us maintain the high quality services that you have come to expect!
