MISSION

The Medford Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization which generates financial support and stewards private funds to enrich the mission and vision of the library for the community.

The MPLF’s support is focused on Public Programming, Special Collections, Technological Innovation, Youth Services, and Adult Learning.

IMPACT

This year we received $88,694 from over 170 individuals, families, and organizations. Thank you!

PUBLIC PROGRAMMING

Your support helped library staff and volunteers build communities of creativity and learning for ALL Medford residents. This year, we supported 112 programs together, including adaptive programming for youth, programs selected by a senior advisory board, ESOL classes, maker space activities, STEM programs, fine motor skills classes, and more! None of these enriching programs would have been possible without your support.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

Your support of the Betsy Schreuer Fund enhanced the diversity of the collections. This year, we acquired over 500 new books in Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Spanish, and Portuguese.

RECOGNITION

Your support was recognized! We recognized over 100 individuals and families in the library though new named bookplates, leaves, pavers, and furnishings.

If you love your library, a gift of any size is a great way to show your support!
