The Fund isn't about nice-to-haves. It's about innovative services that promote social and economic equity. It's about ensuring that the BPL's world-class spaces and collections are preserved and accessible for generations. It's about upholding our obligation to safeguard the freedoms and rights fundamental to democracy. And it's about creating new ways for people to strengthen their community by immersing themselves in their passions, encountering new ideas, and broadening their horizons.
