About this organization
Mission
The Cambridge Public Library Foundation enhances the library's innovation and capacity, helping to address emerging community needs through private support. Since its foundation in 2015, the foundation has helped the library reach thousands of children and adults at risk of low literacy, engage our senior community in the creative arts, propel the library's technological capacity and offerings, create forums for public discourse and democracy, and provide rich cultural experiences that would otherwise be outside the library's annual budget.
About
Over the past year, the Library Foundation supported several library programs and events including: 'Mindfulness', in collaboration with the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine at UMass Medical; STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) programming for youth, ages 11-16; the 3rd annual Margret & H.A. Rey Curious George Lecture with New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kabuishi; a series of storytelling and dance classes for adults 55+. We also supported the creation of a new mural in the children's room (based on the illustrations of Cambridge author and illustrator Ed Emberley) and helped support the library's strategic planning process with a professional consultant.
