Associates of the Boston Public Library

Our Mission

Founded in 1972, The Associates of the Boston Public Library is a community-based organization dedicated to expanding the role of the Boston Public Library in the intellectual life of the City. Over the past thirty years, it has been the creator and underwriter of a wide array of programs, including:

  • Regularly scheduled art and architecture tours
  • Poetry readings
  • Lectures, public discussions and symposia
  • Music events
  • Book signings and readings
  • Other activities that celebrate the spirit of the Library
    and heighten public awareness of its resources.

The Associates also oversees the David McCullough Conservation Fund, and supports the Library in its ongoing efforts to acquire new materials for its special collections. In addition to Literary Lights and Literary Lights for Children, more specialized programs are also offered to Associates members through the Friends of Music and Friends of Art & Architecture at the Boston Public Library.
