Interested in getting more involved? Join the Partners Program!

The Boston Public Library Foundation’s newly developed Partners Program is our way of saying thank you to our donors and supporters. As an annual BPLF Partner, you will have access to a number of benefits to elevate and enhance your experience with the Boston Public Library, benefits like a monthly insider newsletter highlighting BPL news and events, discounts to the BPL shop and restaurants, seats at lectures and author talks, tickets to exhibition previews and other Partners events, and more.

But the single greatest benefit of your partnership is the knowledge that you are supporting the Boston Public Library. Your annual gift will allow us to continue to pursue our mission of fostering lifetime learning for all Bostonians; collecting, preserving and sharing our rich cultural and historical legacy; and ensuring that anyone, anywhere can access a good book, and a safe community in which to read it.
