That's the number of personalized bricks that were purchased by library
supporters to defray the cost to the town of constructing the new McAuliffe
branch library in Nobscot, and now the foundation is holding a celebration to
recognize that support.
The bricks are installed in two patios in front of the McAuliffe, and on
Sunday, September 24 from 1-3 p.m. library supporters who purchased the bricks
are invited to join foundation board members and library staff at the branch
library at 746 Water Street.
The event will formally acknowledge and celebrate the community support that
contributed to the successful effort to open the first new branch library
building in Framingham in decades.
The celebration will include speakers from the foundation and the library,
refreshments, and musical entertainment from Framingham High School drama
students.
The mission of the Framingham Public Library Foundation is to create a legacy
for the future of both Framingham libraries. The foundation’s long-term goal is
to create an endowment fund that will supplement, but not replace, funds
received from the town. As the foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization, all contributions are tax deductible.
