purchase and equip a bookmobile for the city's library.
βThe response from the community to raise these funds has been outstanding,β
said Foundation president Ruth Winett. βWe had originally thought it might take
two years to raise the full amount. But in less than a year, we've reached our
goal, thanks to the generosity of the more than 250 individuals and
institutions that donated to the project.β
In November, the Foundation plans to hold a donor appreciation event for those
who helped the project become a reality. The library's last bookmobile was
purchased over fifty years ago and was discontinued because of budget issues
several decades ago.
The new bookmobile will begin service in Framingham in April, 2019.
